Data Tip (Symbol)

A data tip is a small pop-up box that appears when you click and hold the mouse button with the pointer near a bar on a chart. The data tip lists the time-stamp and market data for each bar on the chart, including the date, time, price, open, high, low, and close. For daily, weekly, or monthly charts, volume and open interest (futures only) is also provided. For minute and second charts, Up Vol and Down Vol display the trade volume up or down for a bar or the number of upticks and downticks based on the "For volume, use" parameter on the Customize Symbol - Settings dialog.

For Point & Figure charts, the "V" refers to the number of ticks or bars that occurred after the last X or O was plotted but before a reversal occurred, and the "D" refers to the number of Xs or Os appearing in the current column.

 To view a data tip, hold down your mouse button on a specific data point located on the chart.

Data tips are enabled by default, but you can turn them off. See Chart Analysis Preferences - Data for instructions on enabling and disabling data tips.
