Re: a utility to convert bid price to trade price

Unfortunately MetaServer will not work with eSignal at the same PC. Let me don't describe why, but it is.

As far as I have understood the problem, it is just GS' feature that for Forex category and/or FOREX exchnage it stores ask/bid
only. Our eSignal-compatible software OnDemand Server receives and allows TradeStation to plot and update data in Trade record
format (at least no one from users didn't noticed problems).

You can try to make the trick: add the same forex symbol f.e. EUR A0-FX into GS' Symbol dictionary, but under Stock category and/or
other exchange. Then add it into GS' portfolio and test, will it receive Trade records.

But you should know that:
1) you will have problems with importing XPO files from people who uses original EUR A0-FX.
2) you have to change sesion times, price scale, point value etc for these "new" Forex symbol to make them identical with original.

Best regards,
Andrew Nazarov
