Getting Best/Current BID & ASK price into a strategy

[travislwilson]

Greetings everyone this is my first time posting. So I've been playing with gekko for a few weeks and its been great but one of the things that I like to use in my strategy is using the bid/ask price to help filter out some whipsawing. I figured it would not be that hard too do, I come from a c++ background so I'm kinda new to Javascript but nothing like jumping in feet first and figuring out how things/gekko works. So I started off looking at the wiki page to see how the program is laid out it pointed me to budfox from there I  followed the data trail back to candleCreator and my exchange wrapper which I'm using gdax. So after messing around and breaking things and then unbreaking things I got to the point were if i printed the candle object I could see the ask and bid but it was undefined upon closer inspection I see how gekko is creating candles by using the getTrade api which does not include the bid/ask in the datastream. But I see in the gdax api wrapper that it does have the getTicker function which does include ask/bed price. But I'm at a lose on how to add the ask/bid from getTicker into the getTrade function.
Any thought or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
