A trader is using a 610-tick chart for the NQ E-mini. Why might they prefer this over a standard 5-minute time-based chart?
- Tick charts provide more granularity during high-activity periods and filter out noise during quiet sessions.
- Tick charts are the only viable way for a retail trader to see hidden 'Dark Pool' institutional order flow.
- Tick charts allow full automation of VPA signals by feeding candle data directly into standard RSI oscillators.
- Tick charts remove the need for volume analysis, since every candle on the chart always carries equal volume.
