Thread: How can i do get ask data calculating it from bid data using a fixed spread ?

I would like to know how can i calculate ask data from bid data using a fixed spread?

Should i add the spread to the bid data to get the ask data?
so:
AskOpen = BidOpen + Spread;
AskHigh = BidHigh + Spread;
AskLow = BidLow + Spread;
AskClose = BidClose + Spread;

So if bid prices are:
6/1/2010,08:32:00,18.44,18.44,18.42,18.43

and Fixed spread is 0.05

Then Ask Prices should be:
6/1/2010,08:32:00,18.49,18.49,18.47,18.48

?

Thank you

Hi Manuel Gallego,

Thank you for posting.

If this is how you want to compute the Ask data, then yes, I think it makes sense.

Let us know if you have any difficulties when applying this.
