Hi Bruce... Ninjatrader would be the way... it has tick charts and its free, also forex data is free there... so far had tested quite a lot and has a very friendly charting functions and no connection issues (very important )...

I would love to get a chart on Ninjatrader similar to Unicorn`s on amibroker... hope we get there...

The edge of using Tick charts on forex is being able to get a very good precise timing... even better than the 1 min we actually have on mt4...

I dont know how their coding language differs to mt4... but if we could migrate there, it would be worth the effort eventually... cheers Walter.
It uses C# which is not only for indicator programming, so it has more stuff but is also a little more complex but with less limitations. I haven't coded MT4 stuff but from what I have seen I prefer NT.

Things that are missing in NT: using data from other time frames in an indicator
Also the indicator on indicator thing is not possible to configure on the chart, but is easy to do in the code.
