Seconds charts TimeFrame for MT5

Seconds timeframe

In MT5 there are no second charts by default. Many of the presented options for creating such do not work fully - errors with extrema, inability to use indicators, etc. I present you a fully working variant. The script works as an Expert Advisor by creating a custom symbol. To work, the script is placed on the M1 chart of the instrument of interest, after which the window of the custom symbol will open automatically.

The settings are minimal and intuitive - the timeframe interval in seconds and the starting point.

Alright. So since it operates on a different window. Any object drawn on the standard timeframe will have to be manually drawn again on the seconds timeframe, correct?

Yes. It are different windows. If you want an indicator on seconds chart you have to put it on a seconds chart

Very Nice ! Does the seconds chart open with some bars in it ? i mean does it contain some older candles and updates with the real time ? just like a normal chart because some seconds indicator starts generating seconds TF from the starting point so i cant analyse any older data with it !
thx in advance

Yes, of course. Note the pictures in the first post. In the settings there is an item - Start Date. Choose any - from it will build and will continue in real time

Before using, make sure that the broker supplies "trading ticks" to the terminal. Go to "Symbols", select the instrument of interest and go to the "Ticks" tab. Next, select the type of ticks "Last/Volume" and press the "Request" button. As a result, you should get a list of trading ticks with price and volume. If the broker does not supply such tick data, the script will not work.

Hello @StockGambler!

Provided my EA can trade on custom symbols, can we also do backtesting?

And if there are any special considerations regarding backtesting, could you please include here or on your product page?

Thank you very much!
