TS Window

A right-panel tab that streams the live tick-by-tick feed of whatever symbol is currently plotted on the main chart - every trade prints as a new row in real time. Use the settings gear to choose what to display, the list width and the colours.

Opening the TS Window

1
Click the TS Window tab in the right panel
Find the tabs along the top of the right-side panel: Watchlist · Top Movers · Option Chain · TS Window. Click TS Window to open the live tick feed.
2
It always follows the active chart symbol
The symbol being streamed is shown at the top of the panel, just below the Add Symbol bar. Switch the chart's symbol and the tick feed underneath switches with it automatically.
3
New ticks stack at the top
Each trade appears as a new row at the top of the list and pushes older ticks down, so the most recent trade is always visible without scrolling.

TS Window Settings

Control what the feed shows, how wide the list is and which colours are used.

Why Use It

bolt

Spot large orders in real time

Unusually large Size values printing repeatedly can signal institutional activity before it shows up as a candle move.

speed

Read momentum inside a single candle

A 1-minute candle can hide dozens of ticks - TS Window shows exactly how price moved within it, row by row.

balance

Read buy/sell pressure from Side

A run of consecutive buy-side ticks (or sell-side) can reveal aggressive one-directional flow before it's visible on the chart.

timer

Time entries around expiry

On expiry day, watching raw tick flow helps gauge how fast price is moving before placing an order.

compare_arrows

Compare trades with the quotes

Switch to the Wide list and turn on Show Bid / Ask Quotes to see where trades print relative to the best bid and ask.

palette

Make the feed easy to scan

Pick your own Buy, Sell, Bid and Ask colours so each row type stands out at a glance, and use Reset to go back anytime.

tips_and_updates

Keep the TS Window tab open while scanning through your watchlist symbols on the chart - since it always follows the active chart, you get a fast tick-level read of Side, Size, and Price on each stock as you click through without switching tabs. Use the Narrow list if your right panel is tight on space.
