Tick Chart vs Candlestick: What Traders Really See

注释 · 81 意见

Most traders use candlesticks — they’re everywhere. But if you scalp, you know how often candles hide what’s really happening. The market looks flat, but in reality trades are firing non-stop.

Tick charts flip the view: instead of time, they plot every single trade. That’s where you start spotting micro-impulses, slowdowns, and sudden bursts of activity. For scalpers and HFT, this can make all the difference.

Candles show the big picture. Ticks reveal the heartbeat of the market.

I’ve been testing this together with tools like a Tick Chart and a built-in Crypto Screener — both running on tick data. Pumps, dumps, sudden spikes… they don’t stay hidden for long.
