Hello,

I would like to know the feasibility of writing a histogram that uses ask/bid volume as input.

It would use the same data displayed in the Market Delta footprint chart.

I need a visual representation of the ask/bid delta that will work on a 5 tick range chart.

Thx

OEC API does not provide ask/bid history, but you are free to implement your own recording.

Thx,

I guess the answer is yes.

Can the same result be achieved with your Easy Language implementation? I know the new Tradestation has the ask/bid data available.

It’s OK that the history is not available– just need the real time data in visual form. The term histogram refers to the type of graph display.

Thx

The easy language key words are

Value1 = UpTicks;
Value2 = DownTicks;

Does OEC support these key words?

Thanks for your help

OEC Easy Language implementation did what I needed. Using upticks/downticks also gives me the history automatically.
