Author	Topic: Trade vs Tick (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
shortorlong -Interested User- Posts: 16 Joined: Jan 31, 2008	Posted: Feb 3, 2008 07:20 PM Msg. 1 of 3 One other question that I had was how to get Trade data. The goal is to compute the average tradesize for a particular symbol. So I need to be able to get a list of all trades on that symbol. Is the tickdata equivalent? So when I get a tick, I can assume that that tick resulted in a trade? If not, then how can I go about computing the average trade size for a symbol?

FYI: The data feed includes the total trades for a day on a symbol. This information is sent with each quote change. Just divide the total volume by the number of trades and you get the average volume per trade at that point in the day.
