Bid and Ask quotes

Bid is the price at which the source offers to buy the base currency; Ask is the price at which it offers to sell it. The difference is the spread.

Tick-by-tick updates preserve the chronological sequence of source quotes. They support spread analysis and quote-side-aware backtests. A quote does not guarantee execution: liquidity and access conditions also matter. There is no single central order book covering all spot Forex.

Mid Price

Mid Price is calculated as (Bid + Ask) ÷ 2. It provides a single reference price for analysis and charts.

Read more

Example: Bid 1.1000 and Ask 1.1002 produce Mid Price 1.1001. This is a calculated reference, not necessarily an executable price. Mid-only backtests omit spread costs. Confirm the calculation convention and delivered fields for the selected dataset.

Minute and Daily bars

Bars aggregate quotes over a time interval and report Open, High, Low and Close prices.

Read more

Depending on the dataset, bars are built from Bid, Ask or Mid prices. Minute Bid-Ask preserves the two sides separately. Bid and Ask extremes may occur at different times, so their difference is not necessarily an observed spread. Bars do not preserve the exact sequence of intraminute events.

Understanding Forex volume

Spot Forex is decentralised. No single real-time feed consolidates every trade and all volume across the global market.

Read more

Tick volume counts quote updates; it does not measure actual traded amounts. Bid or Ask liquidity quantities are not executed volume either. Available activity fields depend on the source. Currency-futures volume belongs to a separate market from spot Forex.

Why UTC timestamps?

UTC provides a common time reference without seasonal clock changes, making it easier to compare pairs and sources.

Read more

The relevant Forex datasets are supplied in UTC to simplify synchronisation and backtesting. To analyse London, New York or another session, convert timestamps using the destination zone’s historical rules, including daylight saving time: a fixed offset may not be correct year-round. Confirm bar boundaries and timestamp conventions for the selected dataset.
