The user may limit the trades reported to those that exceed a specified tick volume by filling in a value in the space provided. To see all trades regardless of size, enter 0 or clear the tick volume limit edit field. The current tick volume limit, if any, is displayed as part of the window title. Thus, if you have other security type instruments mixed in a quote page with some stocks, all trades on the non-stock instruments will appear in the ticker tape. If the recap check box is checked, the ticker tape recapitulates the current quotes of all tracked instruments alphabetically.
Recapitulated quotes show the price and the net change in price.
Actual trades show the trade price and the tick volume of the trade. The ticker tape quotes are displayed color coded when the colors check box is checked. The colors used are the default up color, down color, and unchanged color specified for Quote Page, General Preferences. This preference setting applies to all open ticker tapes. Two controls are provided in the upper right portion of the ticker tape, one to zoom the tape to full size horizontally, the other to show or hide the ticker tape controls.
