Attached are the CCI indicator and Template that I use.
Thanks for sharing this method. I like the smoothness in price that this creates. Interesting...

Would you mind clarifying how long we have to keep our chart open before the tick data updates as you said? How long does this take? Not noticed that I had to wait before for this before I open up my offline chart.

Cheers

Yes but when i open the tickchart (the offline chart that is created) I need to refresh manually to see updates
My bad forgot to check allow dll on both of the indicators now it works just fine and updates. Awesome!

I have downloaded both of the tick indicators. I have them on a 1 minute chart and both are updating. I have a red line on both of them increasing. But when I go to open the offline chart, all I get is the "waiting for update" page. I never get the chart. In the chart list, it says my chart has 876 bars but I can't view the chart for some reason. Anyone else having the same issue?

usdivers, what are your entries/exits signals ?
Good question. Basically I am looking for a change in the trend to get into a trade. For instance, I have been waiting for a good place to get back long on the Australian dollar. If you look at my attached workspace, you will see the short trend during the Asian session changed to long trend at about 1.01053 on the 133 tick chart.

So now that is my trigger for going long.

Now for my entry, I switch to the 15 tick chart, and wait for price to retrace to the white moving average, when it touches the white moving average I immediately took a market order long.

My stop loss becomes the BB Stop on the 15 tick chart.

I hope that helps.

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I would like some help about the tick chart; I've running the 1M chart with the two tick indicator attached; I can open the offline chart but in my alpari account the tick chart didn't update itself (I've to refresh the chart to see the last ticks..) and in my other account at forex.com when I open the offline chart I got only the advice "waiting for update".
(I've already check the "allow dll import" in both indis))

Any help?

Thanks in advance

HI cspip,

thanks a lot, in my alpari platform now is working fine (I'll try in the forex.com platform tonight when I'll be home).
Do you mind to share the mq4? I'm curious to see what was the bug.


Thanks again

I still get the waiting to update message. It must be due to my using an IBFX mini account that has the "m" designation after pair, although I don't yet see how. I guess I'll have to see what I can do.

Hi USDivers,
I just want to say it is very interesting thread. I'll definitely try out trading on tick chart for Pound as this pair is my prefered one. I have two questions:
1. It might be stupid question, but is there a way of getting complete tick without running the indicators 24/5? I.e. Can we share the data between ourselves if something goes wrong or computer crashes?
2. Do you know of any good articles or other info on tick chart trading and what is the difference between time and tick charts?

Thank you for this thread! Glad to be here!
- Bart.

EDIT:
Question 3. Is that tick data stored somwhere on the disk? Can I access that data and backtest some strategies on it?

I am afraid not, as far as I know it must be kept on 24/7 for accurate tick charts. For my trading I turn my computers on at the open of the forex week, and then turn them off on friday.

Hello
and thanks again for this wonderful tool.
One question though.
I have not the option to have my station up and running logging ticks all the time.
So my problem is how do I delete the "history" if you understand what i mean
Say for instance on monday evening I stopped logging and on tuesday morning I start logging again and when I open the offline chart it takes the also the old data from monday and then adds a HUGE bar to where i started logging on tuesday morning. and that kinda skews my indicators for some time.


TIA Steken

EDIT: Solved it looks like the indicator already had a function for that switched to overide instead pof append on the logtick data

Thanks

Hi usadiver,

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is the advantage of tick trading versus M1?

I think it is possible to have EA for this Tick Chart trading. Can you share what are the rules for trading using tick-chart? Assuming that we can have EA for MA crossing what would be MA parameters ? Is it possible for you to you to share your tick-chart system?

Hey dargane... did you solved the issue? I guess I'm having the same problem with IBFX... I did a test with a demo full account (not mini) and it is working fine...

Ive used RR's generic ma cross ea on renko blocks which is an offline chart... it may work for this. Not sure but worth a shot. Do a search for generic ma cross lots of settings but well worth learning.
