Do u need to normalize predefined variables Ask, Bid?

I guess the answer is probably no, but just to be sure - do u need to normalize any of the following:

- predefined variables Ask, Bid

- value returned from MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID) or MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_ASK)

- value returned from OrderOpenPrice(), OrderTakeProfit() and similar functions (of course after selecting an open order...)

Is normalization needed or are they already normalized?

Yes, unless you use unreliable history data in the backtester.
