ChartsPod Time and Sales: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained
The tape is built from public trades for each market. Venue aggregation, history length and reconnect gaps define what it can show.
Short answer
ChartsPod lists a tape built from public trades. Coverage questions: which markets stream trades, whether venues aggregate fills at the same price and time, how much past tape is retained, and how gaps after reconnects are marked. For studies, use exchange trade IDs (where available) to confirm continuity.

Settings to check first
Common first-session mistakes:
- Aggregated prints read as single orders
- Assuming full history
- Unmarked reconnect gaps
Worked example
Illustrative: a 30-second reconnect left no trades on the tape; delta for that minute was understated.
