Trade Data Type

interface Trade {
  id: string;
  price: number;
  size: number;
  time: number;         // Unix timestamp in ms
  side: 'buy' | 'sell';
}

Tick Direction

Show whether each trade was an uptick or downtick:

<TimeSales
  trades={trades}
  showTickDirection={true}
/>

Displays ↑ for upticks and ↓ for downticks.

Large Trade Highlighting

Highlight significant trades:

<TimeSales
  trades={trades}
  largeTradeThreshold={500}
/>

Trades with size >= 500 will be highlighted with a distinct style.

Auto-Scroll

By default, the tape auto-scrolls to show the latest trades:

// Disable auto-scroll (user can scroll manually)
<TimeSales
  trades={trades}
  autoScroll={false}
/>

Trade Click Handler

Handle clicks on individual trades:

<TimeSales
  trades={trades}
  onTradeClick={(trade) => {
    console.log('Trade clicked:', trade);
    // Show trade details dialog
    setSelectedTrade(trade);
  }}
/>

Real-Time Updates

Handle streaming trade data:

function LiveTape() {
  const [trades, setTrades] = useState<Trade[]>([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const ws = new WebSocket('wss://...');
    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const trade = JSON.parse(event.data);
      setTrades(prev => [trade, ...prev].slice(0, 100));
    };
    return () => ws.close();
  }, []);

  return (
    <TimeSales
      trades={trades}
      maxTrades={100}
      flashOnNew
      largeTradeThreshold={1000}
    />
  );
}

Time Formatting

Times are displayed relative to now:

• < 1 minute: seconds ago (e.g., "5s")
• < 1 hour: minutes ago (e.g., "3m")
• < 24 hours: hours ago (e.g., "2h")
• >= 24 hours: date (e.g., "Dec 19")

Styling

Colors based on trade side:

:root {
  --grid-bid: #22c55e;   /* Buy trades (green) */
  --grid-ask: #ef4444;   /* Sell trades (red) */
}

Large trades get a highlighted background.
