I see. Unfortunately that won't work for my needs:( Here is a simple real life scenario of what I (and probably some of your other users) am trying to accomplish. Perhaps there is an alternative solution (such as the "Study/Price Overlay Study" explained here http://bit.ly/1qErtIN ) you could recommend? (FYI, just to be clear, when I say "1 Tick Bid Bar" below, I am referring to any change in Bid Price and/or Bid Volume that happens ON OR in between Last prices. Same situation regarding Ask Price and Ask Volume when I say "1 Tick Ask Bars" ) My strategy's Long Entry signal is based on 1 minute Last bars. However, its Long Exit signal is based on analyzing (rather complex) changes in volume and price of 1 Tick Bid Bars. Because the exit signal is rather complex, its pretty much impossible for me to test to see if I've programed it right unless I can view the 1 Tick Bid Bars in the backtesting results. It would also help a lot if in the backtesting results I could also see 1 Tick Ask Bars and 1 Tick Last Bars alongside the mentioned 1 Tick Bid Bars (all in the chronological order they happened in) because this would let me test to make sure I didn't accidentally program my exit strategy to respond in any way to 1 Tick Ask bars and/or 1 Tick Last Bars instead of 1 Tick Bid Bars. Thanks, P.S. I'd also like to mention that adding 1 Tick Bid Bars and 1 Tick Ask bars (as they are defined above) to a chart is a standard feature in both Ninjatrader and Multicharts. I feel Sierrachart is a far superior platform to both of them and don't understand why SC does not have this ability. Also, the feature/capability I'm requesting is very much in your broker's interests. This is because this feature/capability is pretty much a requirement when doing high frequency trading. And high frequency trading equals more commissions for your brokers. |
