I use tick charts to day trade cme futures contracts, mostly the 6E for
now and am (was) planning to add the ES. The tick charts I use are
inter-related by number of ticks 75, 250, 850 on up. I surmise that the
tick charts account for slow and fast trading periods in ways that
minute charts cannot. My system is very accurate on a short term basis
for picking up inflection points in the market. Thus I think the charts
are successful in showing quickly the most recent flow of the market.
This is not to day that other minute charts cannot do the same thing.
But tick charts seem to be more consistent in my configuration.

that would be fine resolution detail which never
appears prior to our knowledge. With Tick Aggregation
lossy data compression is achieved, but for swing
trading such fine resolution detail could hardly
change once results. (unless increase of market
efficiency will occur also on coarse resolution due
its increase on fine resolution level).
Happy New year.
