What does time give you on a chart?

I've been browsing the forum for a while now and have noticed the almost complete absence of topics on timeless charts. There are range bars, renko, kagi, line break, point and figure charts. Why is no one talking about them? Or better yet, if the prevailing sentiment on the forum is toward timed charts than the proper question might be "What does time give you on a chart?".

My answer is "nothing". On a timeless chart price moves up and down and that is all I care about. It makes no difference if the move is done in 5 seconds or 5 hours. A few months ago I was following the SPX 500. I was expecting PA to move higher and then decline as it was forming a down trend and weakness was evident. It was a lot of ground for the SPX to cover so I was expecting the move to take place throughout the whole day. Well, some news came in (don't remember or care what) and the whole thing lasted literally 5 seconds.

Very curious to learn what others have to say. Is it just the superior charting method, or people just don't know or care enough to dig deeper?

For my trading (both algo and manual), time (more precise: time period) is as much as important as price. Time periods divide the price movements into equal chunks and enables me to judge the momentum, which is an important dimension in my trading. Time periods and price are two non lagging indicators; those are very rare and dropping one of them would mean to give away a powerful tool without need.

I think it's because simply people just don't know their existence.
People learned from their mentors, their friends, and so on.
The ones that taught them, learned from their more senior mentors, and so on.
What is the most popular candle that is taught for decades? Yes, Japanese (normal) candlesticks..
So that's normal if the majority of people only know that.

It's like asking "why are you still using calculator, there's this thing called abacus and it'll enable you to count complex math just using your mind"

I read about renko, kagi, etc. but never used it myself because on Tradingview it requires me to subscribe to a more expensive plan to be able to use them freely, which I don't need (I mean the plan).

If it gains some sort of popularity, like heikin ashi (APB candles), I think people will naturally adopt that and someone will build a whole system out of it.

There is a lot you could glean from the concept of time. Try looking at things at a statistical point of view. Collect as much data as you can and plot price against time. You would be surprised at what you could find. Using candlesticks alone you could get bucket loads of insights. And you don't have to stop there. Try it with ANY indicator.

Yes, time is a concept. We humans made it up as practical way to measure things in real life. We also made up the markets that have little to do with our real lives. Why should this made up concept be applicable and work well in the made up markets?

because its measurable

Well, in this line of thinking I propose the universal adoption of "2 shakes of a lamb's tail" as a standard unit of time measurement. Why? Because it's measurable and lambs are supper cute and huggable.

Actually, you need to combine here Price Action with the supply & demand strategy! Otherwise, the PA will not be enough powerful manually!
