Guys I'm looking at ES for the first time ever last night, and when I look at a 100 tick chart for ES in candlestick form, why does it look so square like and choppy compared to the same setup for 100 tick YM?

Is there a way I can make the ES look like the YM chart setup?
A tick is a tick, keep in mind the ES has many more participants and bigger money going in so 100 ticks will be used up very quickly. Open up to a greater number or ticks and you'll see the range open up.
