# Time & Sales analysis

This functionality allows analyzing tick history by each bar or by price range selected on the chart. Selected bar or price range should not exceed one day, otherwise – tick history will not be loaded.

Time & Sales can be opened from the Analysis tools menu by clicking on the button ![](/files/-MgF4BsxxU1cNHOWA_Bi) or through Context menu -> Analysis tools -> T\&S.

**Note: to work correctly with the tools of analysis, except Volume bars, it is obligatory to have trade and tick history.**

Time & Sales functionality can be set in the following way:

![](/files/-MgF4Bt0_3hZfCisaxZ-)

* Visible – controls visibility of the T\&S on the chart.
* Time & Sales mode – allows choosing mode of the data selection: single or price range.
  * Single mode – if chosen, user selects bar on the chart by which information about the trades will be shown.
  * Price range – if chosen, user specifies price range in the visual mode using two vertical lines.
* Keep range – if checked, the position of renderer (two vertical lines used to specify the range) in the 'Price range' mode will be saved relative to the axis X when switching the timeframe or changing the trading symbol. This setting is enabled only if 'Price range' mode is selected.
* Panel position – specifies position of the T\&S table relatively to the chart area: right or left.
