    what are the advantages of each one.
    or what would each one be better suited for?
    in relation to stock trading.
    since they are obviously very similar

    for the special people here who always seem to misunderstand questions.
    IM NOT ASKING WHETHER I SHOULD USE THESE TIMEFRAMES OR NOT.

    If you compare several data feeds from different contracts or symbols you cannot use 1 tick, you need to have 1 second. For example for correlation analysis etc. Otherwise you can use tick charts. Also for some charting types like renko you need ticks. But these are only useful when doing backtesting. And backtesting itself is useless I would say. And I have 10+ years backtesting experience. Best is to look for discretionary setups and be flexible all the time and adapt frequently.

    a tick is the most granular move. everything else is composed of ticks.

    no advantage to 1 second other than if that's all you got.

    not similar at all on this planet.

    one tick vs one second vs one volume interval



    They are not the same.
    If you trade MNQ, one tick and one volume charts would be extremely fine.

    what i mean is does one tick chart tell me different information from one second chart.
    what can i see on one tick that i wont see on one second chart and vice versa.
