Hi,
Is there a way to get the current Ask/Bid/Close[0] of a difference currency other than the one that the strategy is currently operating on, WITHOUT having to add a new data series.
eg. a strategy is currently running on EUR/CHF. The code needs to be able to know the current value of USDCHF (without adding a new data period multicurrency/multitimeframe, as I only need to check this value once per day... assuming that the markets are not going to be trading +/- 5% per day in the near future!)
I'm sure that I could probably do a web request to yahoo, but it seems to be a bit of a waste of time considering I would actually be connected to a realtime currency broker...
cheers,
