Premarket GetCurrentBid() GetCurrentAsk()

[TheChingachgook]

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Benutzer/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]I have a problem with the Bid/Ask prices in the premarket phase.

I try to scan for gappers during the premarket phase. if you look at the attachment you can see, that in the marketAnalyzer is a valid Bid/AskPrice.

If I want to get access of the bid/askPrice in an Indicator the GetCurrentBid() and GetCurrentAsk() are delivering another value like the MarketAnalyzer.

Then I found out, that there exists a MarketData-member, where the prices are correct. But when the the indicator is used in the MarketAnalyzer the MarketData-member is null ... and the GetCurrentBid() and GetCurrentAsk() are delivering again the wrong values

does anybody know how I could get access to the right Bid/Ask values in the MarketAnalyzer during the premarket phase?

Many thanks for you help in advance.

Please provide the line of code you are using for your print statement and in which method it was placed in. Thank you.

Hi Josh

Thank you for your quick reply ... here is the code line.

This problem only occures in the premarket phase - if you try it during market hours the values are correct

if ( MarketData != null )
Print ( Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name + "; GetCurrentAsk(): " + GetCurrentAsk() + "; GetCurrentBid(): " + GetCurrentBid()
+ "; MarketData.Bid.Price: " + MarketData.Bid.Price + "; MarketData.Ask.Price: " + MarketData.Ask.Price
+ "; " + Time[0].Year + "." + Time[0].Month + "." + Time[0].Day );

oops .. this call happens in the OnBarUpdate()-event

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Can you please try this inside OnMarketData and use the MarketDataEventArgs?

OK - thank you for this hint - since the market is running now I will try it tomorow
