Tick charts: are they possible on IB? I can't find anything about setting them up. I'd like to try trading from tick charts, but not sure how to go with IB. thanks for looking.
I was not able to do it. Closest was looking at time and sales in rt. My solution was to use Multicharts together with IB to plot tick charts (and place trades)

You still have to make a connection with a broker or (paid) dataprovider. If IB doesn't provide ticks, it doesn't show up in Ninja.
