Attention!

How do I access the bid price for a forex pair that is not the pair on which my strategy is running?
For example, I am running a strategy on the AUDCAD, but as part of my money management code, I need to get the bid for the AUDUSD.

thanks

You would need to Add() the needed data and then use for example GetCurrentBid in this BIP context or OnMarketData() to get the bid.

Thanks Bertrand,
What is BIP, and is there a way to use DDE from within a strategy?

BIP would stand for BarsInProgress so the series that is currently calling the OnBarUpdate() :

Interfacing via DDE would unfortunately not be supported, but you could store values perhaps in txt files via NinjaScript and then access them within your external application.
