DislikedGreat idea for a thread! I'm not trading sub-M1 just now, but I used to and I was decently profitable at it. For charting I was using Dukascopy's JForex -- gorgeous charts, you won't find anything near as good on Metatrader. Lately I've been considering it again. For short term scalps, when you subtract spreads, commissions, slippage and losing trades, the pips/trade isn't all that much, it ends up being a pip or two. I found that by using sub-M1 charts I could improve my entries and exits by around half a pip on average, which makes a considerable...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Never tried it. If you have range bars set up already why not try it and post some screen shots of how it looks? It probably won't look the same as time-based bars or equivolume bars, but who knows, you might find it has its own advantages.Ignored

DislikedHey scalpers, I'm sharing a tick chart creator for MT4. Its very useful to get insight into what's going on inside an M1 bar, and I get about half a pip better returns per trade using it. Note this is actually an Equivolume chart creator, as each bar contains an equal number of ticks. How to Install and Use it Put it in your MQL4/Indicators folder and restart MT4 or compile it with Metalanguage Editor. Note: you may see some compiler warnings about possible loss of data due to type conversion, these should be ignored. Fake news. To use it: Create...Ignored
