Incorporating the Trail of Intentions token into a backtest ??

Hi,
few quick questions on that topics
a) is it possible to use the TINT RTL token into a Custom indicator to be used into a backtest ?
b) How is the market depth data being stored into IRT ? (need to collect and accumulate a market depth "database" by gathering live data ?)
c) Is there anyway to import historical market depth data ?

Thanks a lot
Eddy

No History on TINT

There is no history stored in our database for TINT.  It forms live in charts, but we do not store the full depth with every tick, and thus cannot recreate the TINT data from historical data.  So therefore there is no way to backtest TINT.  Also no way to import historical depth because currently there is no place to store it.  That would be a tremendous amount of data if stored with every tick.  We have discussed the possibility of storing maybe depth snapshots every 1 second for historical purposes.  However, that would be only a partial solution and only collect when live data is flowing.   I don't believe the data feeds provide options of sending the depth with every tick on historical tick data downloads as it would be a tremendous amount of data coming through the pipe but I'm not certain on that.

Hi Chad,

Hi Chad,
thanks a lot for the clarification about the market depth data handling
Last point : Would it be still possible to include a TINT token (output = custom result) into a custom indicator that would be run on a live data basis ?

Yes

Chad,
I just found the video with the resting order candle https://www.linnsoft.com/videos/resting-order-candles
This is opening great perspective in term of "technical" analysis of the order book...
So the answer to my question was YES and you just have another happy user becoming a subscriber to your Market Depth package :-)
Cheers
