Tick, range and renko bars

Bars built from trades instead of the clock: a new bar every so many trades, every so many dollars, or every so much volume.

A 250 tick BTC chart

Switching to them

  • Pick one from the interval menu, or click the chart and type it: 100t, 250t, 5s.
  • The countdown under the last price shows how many trades or how much range is left in the bar.
