Getting Trade Price on Tick Data

[geekodude]

Hi All:

Is there a way to get last trade price on tick data? Specifically I have CalculateOnBarClose = false & I would like to have the current trade price at 6:30am. If this works on Market Replay Data that would be even better.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Geekodude,

Thank you for your note.

You can use Close[0] to receive the last traded price from the tick data.

Thanks for the reply. But what is the logic to get the trade EXACTLY at 6:30am. This is what I have that does not work.

if(ToTime(Time[0]) = 63000)

Do something....

I believe ToTime only works when the bar is closed. Is there a way to get a trade at a certain time when CalculateOnBarClose = false? Or is there some way to use multiple session templates to achieve this?

Geekodude,

DateTime.Now would work for getting the most recent time from the Tick coming in.

ToTime(DateTime.Now)

OK great. ToTime(DateTime.Now) works relative to the computer clock in real-time so to speak. Now the ideal situation is to also have code logic that works with market replay tick data. What would be the equivalent to parse market replay tick data to see what price trade occurred at 6:30am in market replay data? I guess what I am really asking for is there an equivalent call that gives the time relative to the CHART?

Geekodude,

Yes, however this is unsupported so I don't have documentation on it.

Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now

That will work for both Market Replay and Live
