Post From: Bad tick filtering

Dear support,

Does Sierra Chart support the filtering of bad/rogue ticks - obvious prints outside time and sales?

For example today using iqFeed for the CAC 40 futures front month (MT#), at 03:56:06 EST, a print for 2500 lots at 3700, at a time when the inside market was 93.50/94. I've checked with the published rules on block trades at the exchange (NYSE LIFFE) and they say that there are no OTC block trades permitted on that product.

I've contacted iq to ask them to verify the possible rogue print with the exchange, and also to ask if they plan to introduce either separate flagging for OTC block trades on products which support blocks and also filtering for bad ticks.

Can I set Sierra to automatically filter such bad ticks? The volume filter is useful for products like FDAX where the exchange documents the minimum block trade, but is not of help in my CAC example as a rogue price is also printed. (and I cannot sensibly set a maximum volume quantity on a market which does not support blocks)

Thanks.
