Cumulative Tick Direction

4. 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 doesnt take into account the previous downtick from 3080.25 to 3080 and displays only "-" for the 3080 to 3079.75 downtick.
