MarketInfo() producing 0.0 for bid price

[lancastersteve]

Hi All 

I'm running the below on EURNZD. While on this pair, I'm trying to get the bid price for another currency pair; GBPNZD (string newcurrency in my EA)

The 1st Print shows me I'm successfully generating GBPNZD, but when I plug this into MarketInfo to get the Bid price of GBPNZD, it is only printing 0.0.

I have both currencies in the Market Watch window. I've also tried simply typing "GBPNZD" into the MarketInfo, and it still only prints a value of 0.0 in the 2nd Print line.

Please could someone help?

        string basecurrency="GBP";
   string newcurrency=StringConcatenate(basecurrency,StringSubstr(Symbol(),3,3));
   Print("My new currency is", newcurrency);
   double newcurrencyBid=MarketInfo(newcurrency,MODE_BID);
   Print("Converter value is", newcurrencyBid);

I'm in backtest, not sure if this affects things.

Many thanks

Steve

Maybe you don't have history data from GBPNZD . so it got no data at all .
