ask bid last ticks count

[tomas1983]

hello,
i understend that NT is runing the indicator/strategy script only by the "last" tick (and not by ask/bid/last)

i like to make a counter for all the ask bid last ticks,

is it posible to run the indicator/strategy on all ticks?
if not, is it posible to make only counter for all ask bid last ticks? (and still run the script by the last tick?

p.s im not sure what the different from "ask/bid" to "last" tick, so if u can clarify it that will be great too

tnx
tom.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for writing in and thank you for your patience. This is possible using the OnMarketData method in NinjaTrader. More information on the OnMarketData method can be found in our help guide here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...b=onmarketdata

As an example:

protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
{
    switch(e.MarketDataType)
    {
        case MarketDataType.Last:
            Print("Last: " + e.Price);
            break;
        case MarketDataType.Bid:
            Print("Bid: " + e.Price);
            break;
        case MarketDataType.Ask:
            Print("Ask: " + e.Price);
            break;
    }
}

The difference between the ask/bid and last is that the last is simply the last traded price. At any given time it may be the same as either the ask or the bid price.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

tnx,
so if u get it right, the ask-bid will cover all the ticks that the broker provide, the "last" is just one of them (ask or bid)
