These Trade Indicators are specifically for US Options, the OPRA market.
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 for OPRA are currently not included in our applications. This list is updated periodically.
