Thats not what I see, I see IB sending out data every 0.3 seconds (eg http://www.linnsoft.com/qa/a/108.htm )

So if I get 3 ticks coming in at tadeprice 1000 in the same 5second interval even when I am in tick mode all I see is volume increasing, if I go in and actually try to access those ticks in AB I find they have been joined up into one 5 second bar, ie theres no way I can work on those trades eg if they were 3 trades of 1 + 4 + 10 all I have to work on with analysis is a volume of 15, I can't separate out the 1 + 4 + 10 if they occur in the same 5 seconds at the same price??

Is that correct?? Or am I totally off the mark here...??

James, 

 
but it cant really go below 5 seconds can it? I've just switched over to the profession edition so i'm trying to work it out...


>> It is not as difficult as you think! AB is supporting tick data. In other words if you have tick data you will see every tick, trade as a different bar on chart.

IB does *not* support tick data, their finest data resolution is 5 second. 

That's all. You can't make shorter perdiods from IB data than 5 seconds. Try to collect true tick data and you will see how it looks like.

AB just uses what data it is supplied with
If your data supply is 5 second then that is what AB will use.
