Unfreezing will fast forward to the current state of the depth, unless you have moved forward or backward from the time it was frozen, in which case it will unpause the depth replay.

You can also use >> to move to the current state of the market.

Orders

Freezing will prevent new orders and order changes from changing the list.

Unfreezing will fast forward to the current live state of the market.

Trades and Market Trades

Freezing will prevent new trades from being added to the list.

If you change a setting while the trades are frozen, they will be refiltered from the current live state of the market.

Stock Lists

Freezing will prevent the list of stocks and the order of the stocks from changing.

Freezing is not saved

Frozen is a transient state to avoid accidentally watching a paused market.

Tools automatically unfreeze when:

  • The tool's stock is changed
  • A new tool is selected
  • The desktop is changed
  • The window is closed or minimized
  • A new day starts
  • Spark is restarted

You can undo freezing, but you can't redo it.

You can't undo or redo unfreezing. i.e. if you freeze a tool, then unfreeze it, you can't go make to the past frozen state.
