Flag Symbol meanings

Recommended Posts

I saw Andrew's video in the advanced lesson on time of sales and such. For flag symbols, what do these mean?

 

T

 

F

 

I

 

 

 

I know he said a lot of odd lots get flagged with I and that F is like a market sweep or something. However, what exactly do they mean? Thanks in advance.
