Tick data inspection

I know that tick data includes Bid and Ask, but when I use the Data Inspector to view the tick data, it only shows the standard OHLCV columns. Is there a way to examine Bid/Ask data?

Hi Jorabi,

There is a 'timeframe' combo box at the top of the data viewer next to the date range specification. Ensure the time-frame is set to 'Tick' to show tick data.

Regards.

Yes, it is set to Tick. But the column headings do not change to Bid/Ask when I choose Tick from the combo box.

The data shows, it just does not include Bid and Ask numbers.

Sorry, I see what you're saying. The inspector is only showing the Bid price as the 'Close' for the moment. The only workaround at this point is to export the range you want via the 'File export' feature. We'll note this as a future enhancements.

Hi Guy,

The data that Tickstory downloads is always tick granularity. You can attempt to download a specific date range using the "Download" function first and get "file not found" errors, this means the data is not available for this instrument for the requested date.

Hope this helps.
