Hello,
how can I do a RT bid/ask chart? Its possible with GetRTDataForeign?
How can bid/ask data stored in AB?
SYNTAX GetRTDataForeign( ''fieldname'' , ''symbol'' )
The function retrieves the LAST (the most recent) value of the
following fields reported by streaming real time data source for
specified symbol:
* "Ask" - current best ask price
* "AskSize " - current ask size
* "Bid" - current best bid price
