Re: Missing upticks etc.

Richard,

This is not what I see with TS6. All values shown by
- the total of "Up" and "Down" in data window (Up or Down
  number changes only on increase or decrease in price),
- my indicator summing up upticks + downticks,
- "Trades" in Quote window,
- "Trade" in Times & Sales" window,
- counting manually the number of tickbars,
agree to indicate that only changed prices are included.
providing that when formatting the symbol, the volume is
set to "Tick count".
