Here's a Tick Chart For MT4

Hey all,

When i first started using MT4 i found it restricting not having a large tick chart. The market watch tick chart is too small and if you drag it across a large monitor it only shows a section on the left of the chart, not the whole thing. Also, the market watch window doesn't show trade levels. So i have come up with the attached. It shows trade levels like a normal chart, but works in the indicator window, it also shows horizontal gridlines (with custom grid distance).

Enjoy!

Hi rooicol,

Thanks for sharing the indicator. But why i chart doesn't display the bid/ask price in large font like yours on the top left?

I was wondering:
1. Is it possible to lock the scale from expanding and contracting?
2. Just have the bid price or ask price on the chart not both?
3.To superimpose a say a 200 tick moving average over the price chart?

What about saving the tick data to an offline chart then it could be called up as a regular chart ? I have considered dong this but I'm not sure if MT4 will cope with having more than one data point at the same datetime.

The advantage of this approach would be that the data already accumulated isn't lost when the indicator is taken off the chart.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

thanks for you indicator

when i am trying it, i see an error with every tick in MT4 Expert Log; say :
"2013.06.11 11:34:09 Tick Chart EURUSD,M1: invalid time value for ObjectMove function "

i don't know why it give me this error ? and is this due to i drawing some trend line in the Tick chart window ??

I have found another working TickChart Indicator (Post tickdata, Log tickdata), it seems to work with the latest builds (tested on build 646).
these indicators are by desander, Rjo, komposter (?), many thanks guys (I have added the hint-text as external parameter in the log-indicator only and renamed the indicators)

You can find instructions at the original thread, but it is very simple to get the stuff working:

1.) Open a M1 chart
2.) Attach the TickChart.LogTickData indicator to the chart
3.) WAIT for the first few ticks (the indicator draws a red line)
4.) Attach the TickChart.PostTickData (I have updated this indicator, pls. see HERE) indicator to the chart and (quoted from instructions) "choose your own preferred ticks per bar on the inputs-tab, (15 if you
wish a 15-tick bar chart) but 33 - 133 - 233 are more random tick charts and the 133 is the one i use most
5.) Open the offline chart (file - open offline) !T-SYMBOL M(TicksInBar) - TicksInBar is the parameter of the PostTickData indicator, SYMBOL: chart pair
6.) DO NOT CLOSE the M1 chart containing the both indicators

I hope this helps

3.) WAIT for the first few ticks (the indicator draws a red line)
4.) Attach the TickChart.PostTickData indicator to the chart
I have modified the TickChart.PostTickData indicator and added an external parameter "WaitSomeSecondsUntilStartup", this is set to TRUE per default and makes the indicator "sleep" some seconds on startup. This should be time enough for the LogTickData indicator to get the historyfile filled, so no errors should occur when attach both indicators immediately to the chart ...

pls. read the instructions at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...57#post7487257

Thanks for this fxdaytrader. I shall try your new ones. I have everything working fine except the offline chart. It sits waiting for updates. Allow DLL imports is checked in both. I'm thinking perhaps the latest build of MT4 (646) is the glitch with the ones I have? I shall see. Thanks again.

The Custom Timeframe Generator lets you create charts for timeframes which are not available by default in MetaTrader 4, e.g. 10-second charts, 3-minute charts, tick charts, or range charts.
You run a Generator EA on a normal chart for your chosen symbol, and the custom timeframe is then available from MT4's list of offline charts. The custom timeframe continues to update for as long as the Generator EA is running.
The software can create historic bars for periods such as M3 from historic M1 data, and can optionally interpolate missing bars on shorter...

The installation-routine will install "MT4i - Custom Timeframe Generator.ex4" in your experts-directory.

The usage is really dimwit-proof, just tested ... (attached eurusd 10seconds-chart)
