hello,

can anyone explain the difference between tick numbers????...example: 610, 210 tick charts...

thanks
Hi,

TICK charts are just the number of transactions per bar. So a 610 tick chart plots one price bar per 610 transactions whether each transaction is for 100 lot or 1 lot.

I think nams was thinking of the NYSE TICK chart.
