[Programming Help] - MarketDepth Data updates in ACSIL in Replay simulation does not match bid/ask

View Count: 104

I am evaluating using MKT DepthData in AutoTrade Replay backtest, in ACSIL code:

- Evaluation account, running for MESU24-CME
- Chart has 1min bars
- Re-downloaded market depth data
- Using replay-based simulation with time increment of 1sec, speed 1920x
- Intraday Data Storage Time unit is 1 tick

I see bid and ask changing, but the market depth data updates at a much reduced rate, in fact I see the number of levels and the values of level at each depth only changing every 10 minutes (see below, where I print out how many levels have changing data).

Is it possible to run a historical replay with the MDP data changing with each call to ACSIL ? Is this just an issue with evaluation trial?

Apologize if it was answered elsewhere but could not track it down.

Example:

I see the bid and ask change within each call and index as expected, but none of the MktDepth entries changes value, e.g each line here is a call to my ACSIL function where I find the MarketDepth bid data and check if it changed

Here are the time stamps where the market depth data actually changes, grepped out. Note, this seems to only change every 10 minutes.
