First and foremost: This is not a signal provider thread, strategy selling thread or anything like this.
My honest intention is to help scalpers move to the next level
What is TickTrader?
TickTrader is a tool which lets you view and trade on raw Tick Data.
There are no candles available. It is a simple line chart with resolution of 1 Tick.
Checkout TickTrader homepage and checkout the screenshots.
Or take a look at the posts in this thread, as screenshots of charts will be posted every now and then.
Why TickTrader?
Yes, I am aware that there are some other charting tools that do support Tick charts.
TickTrader tries to adhere to the KISS principle:
Keep It Simple Stupid.
Which means: No fluff and overload on the Ticker, Chart and Trade Management.
Some differences to other charting software:

Some differences to other charting software:
- TickTrader supports Live raw Tick Data for up to 24 hours
- Viewing of historical Tick Data with ease. (starting with January 1st, 2012)
- No limitations on that - you can even view a full year in Tick Data; checkout the screenshot of EURUSD 2022. It's up to you, if this makes sense...
- Your hardware is the only limitation
- Default behavior is 1 day
- Unlimited zoom (Milliseconds range up until Years and beyond)
- Backtesting support on Tick Data
- Note: Historical Tick Data is provied by Dukascopy
- No limitations on indicator input values
- Currently just a limited set of indicators is available; which should be sufficient for scalpers
- Additional indicators will be added on demand
- Runs in the browser with high performance; no need to install anything
- Also runs on Mac and Linux out of the box
- Best performance on Chromium based browsers
- Broker independent (current broker support is limited to cTrader accounts (any broker) + FXCM
- Support for more brokers will be added on demand
- FIX support will be added on demand
- Quick Stop Loss and Take Profit adaptions (Buttons for +1/+5 pips or BreakEven + 1)
- No trendline and horizontal/vertical line drawing support (yet there is a crosshair spanning across the whole chart)
- See KISS above
Currently there are some limitations, which might be added in future:
- Creation of Limit / Stop orders
- Dragging Stop Loss and Take Profit orders on the chart
- Market orders are hardcoded to GTC (Good-Til-Canceled) and cannot be cancelled right now
- Scaling out of positions (a scale out will be recognized as if the position was completely closed)
- This will be definitely fixed
- To mitigate these limitations, you currently need to use your brokers platform
Also checkout the platform comparison and the roadmap for more details.
There are no hidden costs (like commissions or affiliates)
As TickTrader is currently in alpha stage, it is completely free for usage.
Once we leave alpha stage, there will be a monthly subscription plan to use TickTrader.
Please refer to the Pricing section.
You can always try charting for free

Charting has no limitations there (except: real time Tick Data is delayed and features like Trading, Backtesting and History View are disabled)
