# min_trade_count

Current minute bar’s number of trades.

A integer signal column on the Tickerbot computed state table (20,798+ ticker rows) — computed by the platform, queryable by bare name across the API. Values are NULL on rows the signal doesn't apply to.

- Group: Volume
- Category: Volume & averages
- Type: integer
- Unit: count
- Update cadence: 1 min · mkt hrs
- Universe: all tickers
- History: none — live row only, not historized (no as-of reads for this column)
- Nullable: yes

## Query it

Every applicable form factor, grouped by endpoint family. Response payloads are real captures, sampled 2026-08-18 and trimmed; your run's values and dates will differ.

### Use signals — `/v2/signals/{signal}`

One signal across the market: who matches now, who matched then, and a push when someone starts. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/signals.md)

#### Live — every ticker with min_trade_count above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/min_trade_count" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 26" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:24:41.340Z",
 "signal": "min_trade_count",
 "condition": "> 26",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "MU",
   "name": "Micron Technology, Inc.",
   "value": 60
  },
  {
   "ticker": "SNDK",
   "name": "Sandisk Corporation Common Stock",
   "value": 60
  }
 ]
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook when a ticker starts matching

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/min_trade_count/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 26", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook — the same shape as GET /v2/webhooks/{id}, plus a one-time signing_secret for HMAC verification.

### Use scan — `/v2/scan`

The whole market through a WHERE clause — this signal composed freely with any other column. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/scan.md)

#### Live — the whole market, ranked by this column

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=min_trade_count IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=min_trade_count" -d "columns=min_trade_count" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:24:41.538Z",
 "query": {
  "q": "min_trade_count IS NOT NULL",

  "dir": "desc",
  "fields": [
   "min_trade_count"
  ],
  "full": false,
  "universe": null,
  "asset_class": null

 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "MU",

   "relative_volume": null,
   "market_cap": 1097386149100,

   "relative_volume": 1.0823,
   "market_cap": 239602060000,
   "min_trade_count": 60
  }
 ]
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"q": "min_trade_count > 26", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook object; deliveries carry the tickers matching the condition at each evaluation.
