Tick charts have all the properties of the time interval based charts except that each candle represents a fixed number of trades (ticks) rather than a unit of time. The (400/100 tick) label in the title of this chart shows that it is an alternate view of an underlying 100 tick OHLC chart. The view can be changed by <right-click>ing in the chart and selecting { Time Span | View Tick Units } from the popup menu or the { View } main menu or the timespan hotkeys (which for tick and volume charts become the base tick count multiplier). Only the underlying time unit (base tick count) will be saved to disk between sessions. The x-axis label is the number of bars in the chart. |

This is a 1 tick chart. Each dot is an individual trade. If the trade was at the ask or higher it is colored with the up candle color, and if it was at the bid or lower it is colored with the down candle color. Trades in between the bid and the ask are colored with the candle wick color which is either white or black depending upon the background color of the chart. |
