(1) Calculate Bid and Ask curve
CFETS extract effective quotes of every contributor from the trading system before 16:30.
(1.1) Eliminate the quote if Bid>Ask and get the effective quotes data.
(1.2) If the number of Bid (Ask) quotes is larger than or equal to 8, eliminate the highest and lowest 2 quotes and get the remaining quotes samples. If the number of Bid (Ask) quotes is small than 8, remain the original quotes samples. Average the quotes samples of Bid (Ask) quotes and then get the Bid (Ask) curve.
(2) Calculate Mean curve
CFETS gets the average value of Bid and Ask curve as the Mean curve.
