The Bar Close Bid & Ask
Last updated
Last updated
Bars in the IDE have both the Bid and Ask price attached to the bar-close. If non-IDE data is used both prices will be the same.
The IDE will automatically use the corresponding price during all types of back- and forward testing.
This means a test result will be accurate and reproducible using time frame and MR bars.
Tick data is thereby not needed during live trading or during backtesting, especially when combined bars is used.
