Tick charts, what is the purpose or benefit?

  1. What is the purpose of tick charts and how do you know which size to use.

    I figured that the lower tick sizes speed up the flow of the chart and higher ones slow it down so I am right to assume that tick charts are to benefit day traders to see support + resistance levels, tops and bottoms more clearly and more frequently.

    Or am I wrong? if I am then what are they for?:cool:
     
  2. What is it that you wish to trade
