Introduction

Generally, day trading investors need to be very sensitive to short-term price fluctuations, which makes charts with smaller time intervals important. The smaller the time interval, the more details they can find.

‌

In standard time interval charts (for example, one minute, day, or month), scalpers usually prefer to apply smaller time intervals to view the price change. Now, Webull provides the

Tick Chart. Investors can apply the 42tick, 133tick, or 233tick, and can even customize the tick numbers between 1-999. Not sure how to trade with it? Let’s find out!

‌

What is a Tick Chart?

In a tick chart, a bar is created based on the number of transactions executed. For example, a 233tick chart means that every 233 trades, a new bar will be created on the chart.

Tick Chart Vs. Min Chart

• Detailed Price Change

Even within the same time frame, a tick chart is different from a time chart. A tick chart will typically provide detailed information, which can be critical in trading.

For example, below is the 42tick chart vs. the 1-minute chart for stock ABC. Let’s check out the differences between the two charts.

Tick chart:

The example shows that the price change is still running flat under the 1-minute chart, while the tick chart shows it has come out of several wave trends.
