If you can program you can set up a tick chart in most of the available softwares and write an indicator that will generate bars down to 2 ticks... been there, done that, wasn't Forex though...

Quote from mcgene4xpro:
good way to go.
thanks but still still waiting for Elite Traders to give me a way to do it subsecond with limited resources..
Quote from mcgene4xpro:
Ok, it seems some people here are insisting to go other way. I consider this thread is now closed...
For who wants to share any useful idea regarding this subject, please send me a message.
Thank you all
Happy trading

Quote from Eight:
Get Ninjatrader and teach yourself to write scripts. Ninja is fully documented and a perfect environment to learn...
Any chart package will give you tick count bars, they are not time bars but tick count bars, but might serve.. the problem is with the time stamps really, lots of data is stamped in seconds at best.. you are looking for 1) data feed with millisec time stamps [and you have to be cognizant of who puts the stamps on, is it exchange or the data supplier and most are the data supplier]....... 2) chart package that will do what you want... I have worked with, if memory serves, CQG [or was it DTNIq] with exchange time stamps and Openquant which goes to millisecs [if not beyond] in data handling... I don't think Ninja is going to give you the time stamp granularity you want if memory serves but it will process the ticks in the order your supplier gives them to you, and who really knows if it's the order they really happened even if they have exchange time stamps...
Basically if you are not willing to pay for the good stuff and not willing to program stuff yourself and you have limited resources, and you can't think of workarounds, and you want to shortcut years of experience with some backtesting or something...... well, you know...

After reading some recent posts, I realized how much isolated knowledge there was on this board. I thought that trying to aggregate our resources may be beneficial. Why should I bother trying to implement FIX if you already know a library that does it for free?
Below is a compiled list of the majority of the Automated Trading resources that I know about (and/or care about).

I would love to see some resources that I haven't found yet that would make any job relating to automated trading easier: be it software, library, or data. Hopefully we can make this a great resource.
