Second based charts for Daytrading?

  1. The bottom line is that you should trial it and see if it fits you and what is you want to accomplish.

    It might be that you get a signal on the 1-minute and then use the 10-second to fine tune your entry.

    Give it study. :)

    fine tune what?

    what market moves substantially in 10 sec that you have to fine tune it?

    before you process the information it will take you 2 sec and another second a at least to press buy or sell button..

    are you super man

    10 sec chart is too slow in certain instruments/ situations. Use a correctly adjusted tick based chart instead.

    Almost every day you have periods in CL and especially NQ where 10 seconds seem like an eternity. Market volatility is not very high right now, but in markets like 2018 (VIX spike), NQ jumps around 20 points or more in 10 seconds.

    If it is too fast, you are too slow. Maybe try some different instruments like ZN or Bobls then.
    4 seconds to process info from a chart and press the mouse ? Who are you ? Grampa Simpson ?

    To all who need an excellent, fast and reliable charting (and trading) software for the futures market, I can strongly recommend Sierra Charts. Been using it for years now and couldnt be happier with it.

    I know you cannot sell the top or buy the bottom and I have see that from 30 years experience.

    so what the hell are you people trying to fine tune.
