Ways to check if a Stock has traded over a given period of time.

I would like to know if there's a TR field or similar that can allow me to check if a stock has traded over a given period of time. I'm not sure if by simply checking TR.PriceClose or any other price factor/volume requested in time-series would be enough, does Eikon API has a field for this type of data check?


Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

I can't think of any way to do this other than by interrogating price and volume history. Non zero volume is probably a better indicator than price for whether there was any trade activity. Certain types of trades are excluded from open/high/low/close summarization of price history, so it's perfectly possible to have non zero volume and no price in any given time interval summarized into open/high/low/close. See this thread for an example. The practice however varies by market.
