Quote from osho67:
Does IB have time and sales.?
I look time and sales on QT.
Sometimes both the boxes (bid/ask) are red, sometimes both are green , sometime one red and one green and sometime one white and other red/green
There are no cumulative numbers.
Somebody who is familiar with QT time and sales ,please comment. Thanks
Time and sales in IB is static, I mean you can find it when you open a chart but it is not updated in realtime, you can only see past time and sales( not sure 100%, 99% lol)
In QT you cannot highlight bid and ask outside the mkt as in Tradestation, I have the same problem with Amibroker, I'll probably write a time and sales in excel, or adapt one I already have to see this type of transations.
You have 5 columns in QT T&S
Price: when it's green it means the trade was at the Ask price, when it's red it was at the bid price.
Bid and ask are outlined red when the new bid or ask is lower than the previous and green whenthe bid or ask is higher than the previous.
Bid and ask without outline, it means they are equal to the previous bid and ask
Price white it means equal to the previous price (trade) , or between bid and ask (when you have a spread of 1 tick for example)OR OUTSIDE THE MARKET (above or below the ask or bid)
You can filter block trades for example you can filter and see only trades > 50 or whatever you like.
You can also choose to see new rows only when new trades are printed and not when new bid or ask are printed.
Good luck with understanding what i wrote
