Candlestick based on bid price problem

[richwaters]

When I try to set my bars to be based on the bid price instead of the last price, my chart does not work properly. When trading live my data comes through Trading Technologies and fill data comes from IQFeed. Otherwise, I use IQFeed for data.

I really want to be able to use bid price on my bars. Any ideas why this is not working for me? I know others using NinjaTrader and the bid price for their bars with no problems at all, but they do not know why mine does not work.

Hi richwaters,

Neither of your data providers supplies historical bid / ask data. Please see the following link for a list of compatible providers that offer this:
