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.
