data with Bid and Ask Volume
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2015 5:46 am
Hi,
I am trying to import my data into ForexTester and use the BidVolume and AskVolume in the data for back testing. This is a sample:
Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Last, Volume, NumberOfTrades, BidVolume, AskVolume
2015/1/6, 20:17:01.0, 1161.6, 1161.6, 1161.4, 1161.4, 20, 18, 20, 0
2015/1/6, 20:17:02.0, 1161.4, 1161.4, 1161.2, 1161.2, 23, 23, 12, 11
I can see in the "import history data" we can have 10 fields. So is it possible to import the 10 fields above, and if so what variables the BidVolume and AskVolume are stored under? If no, is it possible that after storing the two variables in a separate text file, ForexTester reads (through API code) and displays them synchronized with the price bar? Or can you suggest any way I can get access to those two variable in ForexTester.
The data is for Futures however, I can also gets the same thing from FXCM for Forex. My trading strategy relies heavily on these two variables and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
