Tick Data from CME

March 24th, 2010, 4:35 pm

Hi all,Has anyone analysed tick data with market depth from the CME? I'm trying to backtest an elementary trading strategy.Here is some sample tick data with market depth from the CME.http://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/dat ... tmlHowever all these files are in FIX or RLC format!I'm trying to analyse this information so I can make a reasonable estimate of bids and offers on a tick by tick basis. (i.e. to see if a big block trade has entered the ladder).Does anyone have an algorithm to import such information (or portions of it) into Matlab or Excel?
