Dear support,
I see that the Bid & Ask Prices Study has a limitation: These Bid and Ask prices only update when there is a trade.

Is there a study that save Bid and Ask prices when a bar closes?
If it is not with a single study maybe with multiple studies or a spreadsheet.

Thank You

What is the difference between -ALL and -BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC ?

-BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC seems to be more complete but I don't get in what way they are different

Both of those recording modes are documented here:
Data Recording Modes

-BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC is the one we recommend you use.

And also make sure this option on Chart >> Chart Settings is enabled:

Load Bid/Ask Update Only Intraday Records

Refer to:
Chart Settings: Load Bid/Ask Update Only Intraday Records (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data menu)

Dear support,

I would like to have a tip about CPU optimization of SC: I have a chartbook with 15 charts , all on the same symbol. Please note that only one chart has recording modes -BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC.

I would like to know which setup is better:

1) 14 charts with the standard symbol and 1 chart with the -BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC suffix

2) all charts symbols with the -BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC suffix


There are any difference performance between the above configurations about:

a) Chartbook opening time?

b) CPU load during the day (more important)?

c) RAM usage?


thanks in advance

You really just have to go and do your own testing for this.

Do you have any tip about a third part software to measure CPU load and other performance stats?
