Tick Field

Extracts one scalar value from a quote or trade tick.

When to use

Use it when a comparison or calculation needs a price, size, or other available tick field.

Example

Extract an ask price from a quote tick and feed it to an Expression.

Common problems

Choose the correct source kind first. A quote-only field is not available for a trade tick, and a tick is not a bar.
