Also lets you **reconstruct and consolidate trades**, **filter the trades**, **set alerts** and more. Time and Sales column can be easily configured to be displayed in a single window as a complement to other windows. ## Data Type ![time and sales data type](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/time-and-sales-data-type.png) ### Data Type Buy and Sell – Display both buy side and sell side trades. Buy – Display only buy side trades. Sell – Display only sell side trades. ### Reconstruct Trades Enable the reconstruction and consolidation of smaller trades (split trades).  Allows you to reconstruct trades. Useful if you are tracking the time and sales and want to see trades aggregating to infer their original size. See Why consolidate or reconstruct trades? ### 1st to 5th column Sets the order and information to display in the column. Timestamp – Displays the Timestamp of the trade. Price – Displays the price of the trade. Volume – Displays the volume of the trade. Tick Direction – Displays "+" or "-” if the trade was a uptick (+) or a downtick (-). BidAsk – Displays the Bid/Ask price at which the trade was executed. ### Cumulative Tick Direction Sets cumulative Tick Direction signs. Cumulative Tick Directions allows you to see the overall tick direction. In the example below we ticked down for the price 3080.25 to 3080 (downtick "-”) we then ticked further down without ticking up to the price 3079.75 (downtick, downtick "--"). On the right side we see a not Cumulative Direction and thus it doesn’t consider the previous downtick from 3080.25 to 3080 and displays only "-" for the 3080 to 3079.75 downtick. ### Cumulative Tick Direction Visual Sets the visual type for the count of tick continuation. You can choose between the option "Symbol" (+;-) or "Rectangle" (■■■). This will display, as the name says, a rectangular block as the Tick Direction accumulates. ### History Size Set the maximum length of history for the time and sales. This option relates to the visual bars options as the visual bars are calculated based on the history. ### Ignore History Size Set this option if you want to ignore the above limit set for the Time and Sales history. ## Filter ![time and sales filter](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/time-and-sales-filter.png) ### Filter Mode Sets the filter mode of the Depth of Market. **Equal** – Display limit orders that are equal to the Filter Value.
