Time & Sales window

NOTE: Standard Edition is limited to 1 time & sales window, Professional Edition allows UNLIMITED number of time & sales window open simultaneously.

Time & Sales window that provides information about every bid, ask and trade streaming from the market. Each row displayed represents either new trade, new bid or new ask that is sent by the streaming data source.

Each line in time and sales window is marked with color to make it easier to distinguish between various conditions.

Coloring rules are:

• light green background means NEW ASK
• light red background means NEW BID
• normal (white) background means NEW TRADE
  
• Red text for bid/ask price/size means that the value is LESS than previous value of the same category
  (for example bid price written in red letters mean that the new BID is lower than previous bid price, green volume field means that the volume of last trade or ask/bid size is greater than last trade volume or ask/bid size)
  
• Red last trade price means trade occuring on or below current bid
  
• Green text for bid/ask price/size means that the value is GREATER then previous value.
  
• Green last trade price means trade occuring on or above current ask.
  
• Black text for bid/ask price/size/volume means that the value is the same
  
• Black last trade price means trade occuring inside current bid-ask range (greater than bid and less than ask)
  

Time&Sales window in version 5.30 shows some "recent statistics" regarding trading namely:

• number of trades and average # of trades per second
• number of trades and shares traded at ask or above
• number of trades and shares traded at bid or below
• ask minus bid difference expressed in number of trades and shares
• ask minus bid difference expressed as percentage ratio to total trades/total volume traded
  

A little background:
Ask minus bid: the positive numbers represent more transactions occuring on ASK side than on BID side. This in theory may mean more buying than selling, but in practice things are largely dependent on security traded. Esp. dark liquidity pools do not show in order books and may report trades to the tape several seconds later thus invalidating relationship between bid/ask and actual trade prices.

IMPORTANT:
These are temporary, short-term stats - they cover ONLY trades displayed in the T&S window since opening of the window OR
resetting stats.
