Eliminating Bad Ticks

There are several methods for doing this. Please note that none of these methods are nowadays needed for the futures live streams we are getting from IQ feed, Rithmic, CQG or Interactive Brokers.

In all cases, a single bad tick may still happen on every market and the manual method discussed below always offers an efficient way to eliminate such outliers.

Deleting a Technical Indicator from a chart

There are two ways to remove technical indicators from a chart window. The easiest way is to just select the indicator, by clicking on it or tabbing to it, and then hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can click on the green trashcan icon on the charting toolbar, select the element you would like to delete from the list that presents itself, and then click "OK".

Eliminating Whitespace, Gaps

Toggle Whitespace

Here is how to eliminate the whitespace that can occur when a market is closed due to a holiday, abbreviated trading session, trading halt, or any other reason. If the chart has periodicity time per bar and you would like to collapse the whitespace, right click the chart and choose Periodicity-> Other; uncheck the Whitespace for Non-Trading Periods box as shown below. Keyboard shortcut Shift+8 (the asterisk key).

These periodicities include Tickbars, Volume bars, Rangebars, Renko, PNF, etc. When fresh start is available, you will see a Fresh Start checkbox at the bottom of the periodicity control as you see below:
