Trade Indicators reflect a Sale Condition used to indicate the type of trade transaction entered by a participant.  You may use this field to determine when to update the high, low, and last sale prices and volume for an issue.


Trade Indicator descriptions are included in our applications.  This list is updated periodically.


Some exchanges do not provide indicators for regular and off-book trades. Therefore, trade indicators are expected to sometimes not be included in data output.

Trade Indicators for US Options (OPRA) can be found in the article here
