# Time & Sales analysis

This functionality allows analyzing tick history by each bar or by price range selected on the chart. Selected bar or price range should not exceed one day, otherwise – tick history will not be loaded. 

Time & Sales can be opened from the Analysis tools menu by clicking on the button <img src="https://1243456536-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LMCqxhh2XAdWPUjcvxR%2F-LMmQmB59Xwe-fwf-nC7%2F-LMmQwSne0Ef7AvjJQsM%2F5.png?alt=media&#x26;token=513c5452-65b5-4dae-bc96-4b0bf46b6685" alt="" data-size="original">

* Visible – controls visibility of the T\&S on the chart.
* Time & Sales mode – allows choosing mode of the data selection: single or price range.
  * Single mode – if chosen, user selects bar on the chart by which information about the trades will be shown.
  * Price range – if chosen, user specifies price range in the visual mode using two vertical lines.
* Keep range – if checked, the position of renderer (two vertical lines used to specify the range) in the 'Price range' mode will be saved relative to the axis X when switching the timeframe or changing the trading symbol. This setting is enabled only if 'Price range' mode is selected.
* Panel position – specifies position of the T\&S table relatively to the chart area: right or left.

Time & Sales table chronologically shows all trades for a symbol by selected period. The following parameters are shown in the T\&S table:

* Time – the time of the trade.
* Price – the price at which the trade fills.
* Size – the size of the trade.
* Source – the source of market data, where a trade took place.
* Side – shows side of the trade: Buy or Sell.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that when setting **Keep range = True**, Time\&Sales border lines can be "lost" within the past chart history. In this case, use the Reset button that appears next to the instrument in the Volume analysis list.
