PLEASE HELP!!!
13 Apr 2020, 01:39

Hi.. I'm trying for a long time now to find a way to get historical Ask data, which along with the Bid it can include historical spreads to a file, and i couldn't find it anywhere.. Is it possible at all? i saw there's a market depth with ask data but i couldn't get it from there too..

So there anyone who can help? that would be very much appreciated.. I'm looking for an historical spreads, not the OnTick current Bid and Ask, or spread value.. Like the past Ask data [As the default on MarketSeries.O/H/L/C[x] is bid price so i need the Ask price] of the last week, on say 1 minute TF or Hourly or whatever..

Thanks ahead! And have a nice day..

Hi mahnas2869,

You can get both Bid and Ask prices in backtesting, hence you can calculate the spread as well. See below

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print("Ask: " + Symbol.Ask);
            Print("Bid: " + Symbol.Bid);
            Print("Spread: " + Math.Round(Symbol.Ask - Symbol.Bid, Symbol.Digits));
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Run following code in Backtesting using Tick Data from Server
You will get .csv file with tick data history.

[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FileSystem)]
public class NewcBot : Robot
{
    private StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    protected override void OnTick()
    {
        sb.AppendLine(string.Format("{0},{1},{2}", Time.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff"), Bid, Ask));
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        var filePath = string.Format("c:\\temp\\{0}.csv", SymbolName);
        File.WriteAllText(filePath, sb.ToString());
    }
}
