    you have to "understand" your system first... to see if it is a good fit to the market you are trading and a good compliment to your trading style. to do that... you have to understand your market. otherwise it is GIGO.

    tick chart is the most inconsistent and inaccurate chart you can use for trading analysis... because most of the data supplier aggregate the ticks in their data feed, you really don't know how much you can rely on your the chart's oscillations.
