Hi,

I understand from docs that SC maintains historical intraday FOP data for CME futures as from Sept (or Nov) of 2017.
Is (best)bid-ask available with 1min resolution or is it only "trade"?
Is tick data maintained, and if yes, will it contain bid-ask?

Thank you.

Yes this data is available and it is tick by tick. And it does contain the bid and ask prices at the time of the trade.

Sorry, I am not fully clear.

Is bid-ask available with 1 min bars or is it only for tick data?

What is meant by "bid-ask at the time of the trade"? Often there are no Trades, but there is bid and ask..I assume these would be available regardless of a trade occuring, correct?

Yes if the underlying data in the chart data file is tick by tick.

Only the bid and ask prices are recorded when there is a trade. We tried recording them all the time but it created a major performance issue. But if you have real-time access to this data feed, you can record them on your side.

Understand.

However, option trades occur infrequently, rendering such data "outdated" for backtesting.

Would you consider switching to a less frequent, 1/min recording of bid-ask instead?

This would keep load appr. the same, but data would be usable..
