Hello,
In a previous life as discretionary trader, I was reading the T&S where every trade (or group of trades) is displayed either in:
- green (Ask Trade = a buyer initiated a market order which consumed the liquidity that was in the order book under the form of a sell limit order)
- or in red (Bid trade = a seller initiated a market order which consumed the liquidity that was in the order book under the form of a buy limit order)
Is this information - whether a trade is an Ask or Bid trade - is available in futures tick data TradeBars or QuotesBars ?
