Hi,

I have noticed that in the Times And Sales report, when I extract data with Trade - Price, Trade- Ask price and Trade - Bid Price, sometimes the Trade - Price is inside the spread, meaning between the best bid and the best ask (not specially in auction, but often during the continuous phase).


also, this is not possible: an agressive order is at least equal or above the best ask if it is a sell order, or equal or below the best bid if it is a buy order. So what does this mean ? do the Trade - Bid Price and Trade - Ask Price FIDS are the best bid and best ask after the trade ?


thank you for your help!
