If you're trading news .... you cant get any better than a tick chart to really get an idea of the action. This is a feed from cnx and the spreads are wide due to the thin mkts aroudn this time of year

the lowest interval you can go is 1min. anything less than 1min is called a tick chart, which will show you tick by tick the price change.
Relax and be happy.

not true .. yu can have a candle chart at any interval you wish if you write your own software, it's just a case of whether it's meaningful at such a short interval. At 5 seconds, even when the mkt is seriously volatile, you aren't going to extract anything meaningful out of candles. Stick with proper tick charts. On my platform aroudn major news eur$ quotes and volume will update up to 30 times a second

Thanks for the chart! I am with Oanda and they provide 5, 10, 30 second candlestick charts. I always make a screenshot of the 5 and 10 second price action at news releases. I just overslept the UK current account, GDP trade.

You really need to get tick charts from someone like ib or efx which will better reflect the mkt conditions wrt liquidity

Are you saying Oanda's tick charts are not as reliable?

yes and no. Ultimately, you are not trading the wholesale spot fx market, you're trading oanda's. If you're trading with oanda, by all means use their charts, they are after all the market you will be trading. However, to get a better idea of what the actual market is doing, you really need to get a proper feed

Yes yes I have Reuters. I just thought you were saying Oanda's charts are crappy. Of course, I have to agree, nothing beats a proper feed.
