I sometimes use a 2-min chart in the past - and I when I checked the ES 2-min it looks very close to the YM 2-min. |

If you want a similar visual I'd run minute based charts and not tick or volume charts. JMHO.
Tick and volume charts will differ from the ES to the YM just based on the volume difference alone. Add to that the fact that the YM has really wacky movements sometimes since there are more noob's trading it on emotions. The candles tend to close almost identical to the ES but watch them while forming the candle and they often are very different till the close of that time period. Not to say there isn't noob's trading the ES or pro's playing the YM but the pro money on the ES greatly outweighs the lil guys on the ES.
I say pick a time frame for your given style and trading instrument and don't deviate. You will grow familiar with what the volume bars look like for that instrument and understand volume that is abnormal easier.
