Historical Data

Overview

 

Hist Data - General

 

The Historical Data window will show you all the daily Open, High, Low, Close data that Medved Trader has recorded for the selected symbol. The most recent entry may be dynamically updated as the new real-time quotes come in for the symbol if the appropriate option is selected in Charts General Settings.

 

 

Hist Data - invoke

 

You access the Historical Data window for the stock by right-clicking on the security's historical chart, and picking the Historical Data for ... option from the menu that pops up.

 

Filtering

 

HistData - filter

 

You can filter which data is shown in the Level II window. The Filter section on the Main tab of the ribbon menu gives you two options:

 

 

None

No filtering is applied. Every day that is recorded is shown in the table.

Volume

Only the days where the volume exceeded a certain value are shown. You can set that value in the field below.

 

 

Editing the Data

 

You can highlight one or more consecutive rows in the data table by clicking (and, for multiple row selection, clicking while holding the key-shift key at the end of the desired selection) or by clicking on the start row of the selection and then using the key-arr-up or key-arr-down keys while holding the key-shift key. You can also select all data rows by either pressing key-ctrl key-a  or clicking on the Select All in the Edit section of the Main tab of the ribbon menu.

 

Once you select one or more rows you can:

 

Delete them - press key-Del or click on Delete in ribbon menu

Note that the next time you do historical backfill those quotes you deleted will be restored. Deleting is available to delete bad quotes that may have been filled in by some source.

Copy them - press key-ctrl key-C or click on Copy in ribbon menu

The selected quotes will be put in your copy buffer so you can paste them in any document or spread sheet.
