Quote from Haroki:
But to set up the chart like I have, right click and under chart type - select range candlestick. Then under bar range - select 1.0. And then under chart period - select 100 bars, or whatever you prefer.

Quote from Vista:
I've understand IQ & Esignal send all data and IB sends "snapshots" every 200ms. Obviously, there's some gaps in IB's Tic chart, but maybe that's a better way to go, if during times of extreme volume the charts don't lag behind the actual price.
ticktrade, how do the Tic charts compare during other times of the day? Are they more similar with lower volume?
Quote from LostTrader:
OK, if you can do this, then you do have the STR/SQU in it's own chart, so the Horz bars should be added as an upper indicator (instead of lower), as I have mine...
Are you using an offset?

Jason: here is what I have been using for my price pane in AmiBroker which shows Bid/Ask on Y axis as a "Label" (as well as tick bars which are set as an interval selection). You might be able to translate to ideas for eSignal as well.Quote from Jason M:
snip...
Has anyone figured out how to plot the bid and ask directly on the range/tick chart? On eSignal, a true tick chart (i.e., using "t" as the interval) does show the bid and ask as well as the transaction price. But I haven't found a way to display the bid and ask on a one-tick range chart (i.e., using "0.25r" as the interval).
Thanks,
Jason
