Deleting Bad Ticks

To delete a bad tick in a Time & Sales window, follow these steps:

1. Find the bad tick on a bar chart using the bar chart cursor.

Note the date and time in the cursor display window so you can quickly locate the incorrect price in a Time & Sales window. The smaller the time base on the chart, the easier it is to locate the time and date of the incorrect price.

2. Display a Time & Sales window.

3. Use the e key to scroll back to the time at which the bad tick occurred.

4. Highlight the line containing the incorrect price.

Press l and j to move the highlight with the keyboard.

Move the mouse pointer over the incorrect price.

5. Select the line containing the incorrect price.

Press f.

Click the left mouse key.

The tick correction window is displayed.

6. In the tick correction window, highlight the incorrect price.

Press l until the incorrect price is highlighted.

Move the mouse pointer over the incorrect price.

7. Press m.

A line is drawn through the incorrect price in the tick correction window and in the Time & Sales list. The tick is deleted from all charts built from tick data.

8. Exit the Tick Correction window.

Press `.

While the pointer is in the tick correction window, hold the right mouse key down and click the left mouse key.

The Tick Edit Menu is displayed.
