    Today using either a tick/volume/time chart the trade was the 3 pm selloff. I don't really think it mattered which chart as long as your eyes were on the markets.

  2. As a result of recent events (CME‘s New Trade Message Aggregation Model, effective today, http://www.cme.com/trading/get/dev/marketdata2848.html) it seems that tick charts can be easily manipulated by the CME and or others (brokers and charting data providers), which make them less stable than time or volume charts. Therefore I’m making the switch to volume charts.

  3. I read that link & I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean.

    Can you please explain a little more ?

    Would it make a huge difference to a point wher most of the time they will be unreliable or just once in a while ? I like tick charts mainly of e minis. ( ES, NQ, YM & ZB )

    Thanks
