ChartsPod Time and Sales: Settings to Check Before Your First Analysis

Time and sales — the tape — lists each trade with time, price, size and side. Filters and aggregation change what the tape shows.

Short answer

ChartsPod lists a tape among its order-flow tools. Check the venue, whether trades are shown individually or aggregated (venues often aggregate same-price fills), the size filter, the size unit and how aggressor side is coloured. A minimum-size filter hides small trades; that's useful for spotting large prints but hides the overall pace. Note the timestamp precision when comparing with other tools.

Common first-session mistakes:

  • Comparing tapes with different filters
  • Reading aggregated prints as single orders
  • Missing timezone

Worked example

Illustrative: with a 5 BTC filter the tape looks quiet; removing it shows hundreds of small sells per minute. The filter shaped the impression.
