```python
class Tick()
```
Price Tick of a Financial Instrument.
#### Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |

| `symbol` | `Symbol` | The Financial Instrument as a Symbol Object | None |
| `time` | `datetime` | Time of the last prices update for the symbol | None |
| `bid` | `float` | Current Bid price | None |
| `ask` | `float` | Current Ask price | None |
| `last` | `float` | Price of the last deal (Last) | None |
| `volume` | `float` | Volume for the current Last price | None |
| `time_msc` | `int` | Time of the last prices update for the symbol in milliseconds | None |
| `flags` | `TickFlag` | Tick flags | None |
| `volume_real` | `float` | Volume for the current Last price | None |
| `Index` | `int` | Custom attribute representing the position of the tick in a sequence. | None |
### \__init\__
```python
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
```
Initialize the Tick class. Set attributes from keyword arguments.The `bid`, `ask`, `last`, `time` and `volume` must be present
### set_attributes
```python
def set_attributes(**kwargs)
```
Set attributes from keyword arguments
### dict
```python
def dict(exclude: set = None, include: set = None) -> dict
```
Return a dictionary of the tick attributes.
#### Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------|-----------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `exclude` | `set` | A set of attributes to exclude from the dictionary. | None |
| `include` | `set` | A set of attributes to include in the dictionary. | None |
## Ticks
```python
class Ticks
```
Container data class for price ticks. Arrange in chronological order. Saves data with a pandas DataFrame.
Supports iteration, slicing and assignment. Similar to `Candles` class but for price ticks.
#### Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---------------|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `data` | `DataFrame` | DataFrame of price ticks arranged in chronological order. | None |
| `time` | `Series` | Time of the last prices update for the symbol | None |
| `bid` | `Series` | Current Bid price | None |
| `ask` | `Series` | Current Ask price | None |
| `last` | `Series` | Price of the last deal (Last) | None |
| `volume` | `Series` | Volume for the current Last price | None |
| `time_msc` | `Series` | Time of the last prices update for the symbol in milliseconds | None |
| `flags` | `Series` | Tick flags | None |
| `volume_real` | `Series` | Volume for the current Last price | None |
| `Index` | `Series` | Custom attribute representing the position of the tick in a sequence | None |
### \__init\__
```python
def __init__(*, data: DataFrame | Iterable, flip=False)
```
Initialize the Ticks class. Creates a DataFrame of price ticks from the data argument.
#### Arguments:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|--------|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `data` | `DataFrame` \| `Iterable` | Dataframe of price ticks or any iterable object that can be converted to a pandas DataFrame | None |
| `flip` | `bool` | If flip is True reverse data chronological order. | False |
### ta
```python
@property
def ta()
```
Access to the pandas_ta library for performing technical analysis on the underlying data attribute.
#### Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|-------------|-------------|-----------------------|
| `pandas_ta` | `pandas_ta` | The pandas_ta library |
### ta_lib
```python
@property
def ta_lib()

|------|------|----------------|
| `ta` | `ta` | The ta library |
### data
```python
@property
def data() -> DataFrame
```
DataFrame of price ticks arranged in chronological order.
#### Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|--------|-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `data` | `DataFrame` | DataFrame of price ticks arranged in chronological order. |
### rename
```python
def rename(inplace=True, **kwargs) -> _Ticks | None
```
Rename columns of the candle class.
#### Arguments:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `inplace` | `bool` | Rename the columns inplace or return a new instance of the class with the renamed columns | True |
| `kwargs` | | The new names of the columns | |
#### Returns:
