I am importing local intraday data via a CSV file for a custom symbol. While the OHLC and Volume data load perfectly, the Bid and Ask values in the chart header remain at 0.00. I have tried placing Bid/Ask in columns 3/4 and also at the end of the row with headers, but the simulator doesn't seem to "see" them. What is the exact column order Build 2891 expects for a CSV to include Bid/Ask data? Is there a specific setting in 'Symbol Settings' or 'Global Settings' required to force the chart to use Bid/Ask prices from a local file instead of looking for a data service? Thank you |

We were thinking about this some more, and we do realize there is this text/CSV line format supported: Date, Time, Unused, Ask, Bid, Close, Volume, Number of Trades, Bid Volume, Ask Volume (Header is required. Intraday data only. "Unused" values need to be set to 0 and be present.)
Refer to: Text/CSV Data Format These Ask Bid values are for the ask and bid prices. And they will be used to load in the current Ask and Bid prices at the time of the trade. They will be visible with this study: Bid & Ask Prices Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
