what charts do you use?

From watching price action, it seems that tick bars do a better job of showing true price action, because it only will move, as price moves, where as time bars print regardless.

However the problem is, unless youre trading a high volume stock of say 2mill daily vol, you wont get many prints...
so I guess it boils down to traders who trade stocks on volume or not.
 
Trade entry is off of a 30sec chart.

I also watch a 1min, 5min, 15min and 30min+ for the various sup/res levels. Nothing complicated, just old fashioned S/R trading.
