I use LMAX for FX trading.
I read this Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service and Data Recording Modes and decided to use FX pairs at this recording format. Example USDMXN-BIDASK. I understand that both bid and ask prices are recorded to my computer harddrive in this manner. But I'm confused when I look at the chart as It has different values then regular symbol (USDMXN). Could you please clarify what I'm exactly seeing on the screen when I set the symbol as USDMXN-BIDASK?
Thanks.

Normally what you would see when using USDMXN is the bid and ask average prices only.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I read that I'm seeing average prices only when I set it to USDMXN.
My question was not this.

I made a test for comparison purposes.
Please see the attached screenshot.
Above you will see data recording is set to USDTRY.
Below it is set to USDTRY-BIDASK.

1. Bar colors are behaving strange. Why?
2. What am I seeing exactly when I set it to USDTRY-BIDASK?

Thanks.

1. We do not know what this means.

2. You see chart bars which represent the highest Ask price and the lowest Bid price during the formation of the chart bar.
