RE: Bid and Ask data

["Pierre Orphelin" <sirtrade@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that TS7 allow to use bid  & ask to place orders.
The reserved words are "insidebid" and "insideask", if I remember.
I know that they should work with automated order placed using TS tech trading
account.

Not true. You can access the bid/ask in TS2000i in EasyLanguage.

First, you must be sure the Global Server is set up to save the Bid and Ask
records. This is not the default.

Then you Format Symbol and select either Trade Record, Bid Record, or Ask
Record in the Settings tab.

You can, for example, put the Trade Record in Data1, the Bid Record in
Data2, and the Ask Record in Data3.

You then refer to the Bid record as Open, High, Low, or Close of data2, etc.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any way to do this in TradeStation 7.
