The Time and Sales viewer is a real-time trade flow analysis tool designed for the cTrader platform. It provides detailed, live data on trade price, volume, direction, and timestamps, enabling users to perform advanced order flow analysis similar to professional platforms like NinjaTrader and Sierra Chart. Key features include real-time trade detection with buy/sell direction, live volume estimation through price and tick analysis, and highlighting of large institutional trades based on customizable volume thresholds.
The viewer offers a professional scrolling display with clean, color-coded trade entries and real-time statistics summarizing buy/sell counts and volume totals. It supports advanced customization options such as four screen positioning choices, adjustable panel size, smart filtering by minimum volume or large trades only, and configurable time display settings (server/local time with or without milliseconds). Users can also select from nine color schemes for trade and large trade highlighting.
The display uses monospace formatting for precise data alignment and allows configurable entry limits for performance optimization. An optional statistics panel provides a market flow summary. This tool is suitable for scalpers, order flow traders, day traders, and users migrating from platforms lacking Time & Sales functionality, offering enhanced market transparency without complex setup.
