Candles are formed by whatever your software provides time, volume, ticks. But ignoring time which is just as important as price is ... pointless.
I've always wondered why there should be an edge in time compression ... my experience tells me there is none..no difference whether you trade 5' or 45' or 50' candlesticks..there just seems to be no edge there..
%% Exactly; nobody gets into any market without fundamental knowledge/ or look ing it up of a stock symbol/ETF . I do believe one could ignore volume, on printing charts anyway; but it would not hurt to make volume notes LOL,
