Schaefer, Thanks for posting the chart. Not sure about everything that's going on in there, but I do see that each bar is 144 ticks. zentrader, again, thanks for sharing. I do know what you mean about seeing the ups and downs better with tick charts - this is why I like using them as well. i'll probably try some backtesting on the ym using 233t and 377t charts. happy trading.

zentrader, thank you for sharing. one question, do you trade mainly off of tick charts or do you just use them to find entry/exit points? ta trader, yes, i meant the number of trades as opposed to volume.

Hello All, I am new here and this is my first post. I am a relative newbie to trading, so please bear with me. I just had a question about tick charts and indicators. First, how many ticks do you usually set for each bar? Or does it vary depending on the pace, market, etc? Also, are there any good indicators that one can use on tick charts? I've been trying to figure out the best way to adjust the properties of indicators in ninjatrader to make this work, but I don't think I've succeeded at this point. I like tick charts because they incorporate volume into the data and they just seem like a more intuitive way to see what the market is doing, so I'd really like to figure out a way to trade with them. Thanks.
