Does anybody have any settings for tick charts that match the 1m,3m and 5m the best?
For example 1m-133ticks
For example 1m-133ticks
The bars on a tick chart are created based on a particular number of transactions.2 For example, a 512-tick chart creates a new bar after every 512 transactions. You can customize tick charts to the number of transactions you want, for example, 5 ticks or 1546 ticks.
Throughout the day there are active and slower times, where many or few transactions occur. Therefore, the x-axis typically isn't uniform with ticks charts. When a market opens there is quite a bit of volatility and action. So, the tick bars occur very quickly. Five ticks bars may form in the first minute alone. During the lunch hour, though, when the number of transactions decreases, it may take five minutes before a single tick bar is created.

Is there a way to use secondary aggregation of ticks on a tick chart? For eg. I want to use 1000 ticks on 500 tick chart?@gravityflyer There is no correlation between time and tick so there is no way to co-ordinate them.
I don't use range charts but aren't they a hybrid of time and tick?
