Hello, I am new to SierraChart.

Can I backtest a Time&Sales Strategy ? Does SierraChart store bid/ask values ? My data feeder is IQfeed.
For instance, I would like to backtest and entry once two orders, bigger than 49, were executed on the ask side within a second...can SierraChart do this ?

thank you
Andrew

Yes. This is supported. When performing back test with IQ Feed data that is stored tick by tick, the Bid and Ask prices with every trade are recorded by Sierra Chart and will be provided during the back test.

Make sure you have a tick by tick data configuration:
