Tick data backtesting
I noticed in the 6.5 docs that the data formatting only contains a column for the Bid. Is it possible to import tick data for both the Bid and Ask?Tags: None

This appears to relate to live price data.
I want to import historical tick data. However, the NT docs say formatting must look like this:
Tick Format
Each tick must be on its own line and fields must be separated by semicolon (.
The format is:
yyyyMMdd HHmmss;price;volume
Sample data:
20061107 000431;1383.00;1
20061107 000456;1383.25;25
20061107 000456;1383.25;36
20061107 000537;1383.25;14

texasnomad,
I misunderstood your initial request. This is the Market Analyzer sub-forum and I thought you were referring to the Market Analyzer documentation. Thank you for clarifying, I now fully understand your inquiry.
Unfortunately, in NT V6.5 it is not possible to import Bid/Ask data. You can only import Last Price.
However, in NT V7 you have the ability to import Bid/Ask data through the Historical Data Manager.
Please review the NT V7 Help Guide for more information on this topic:

Sorry, but I have to ask a really dumb question. It's really critical for me to confirm that my assumptions are accurate.
If I import the bid, then separately import the Ask, then run a backtest, NT automatically sorts out which price to use, correct?

Excellent. Thank you for the speedy response and helpful links.
I am interested in purchasing tick data for my testing. Does NT recommend or offer a list of tick data for sale? I'd ideally like to purchase the tick data already formatted for NT instead of coding and reformatting.

texasnomad,
Unfortunately, I do not have a recommendation of vendors that sell historical tick data. Maybe another user on the forum can provide input based on their experience to guide you in the right direction.
