Re: TICKS clarification

Again it depends on the market and personal choice really, but generally a 50 tick or 89 tick bar would be used for scalping. And to gauge the longer trend during the day 610 ticks probably. I wouldn't think tick charts would be very effective for anything over a 1-3 days as far as swing trading and would use 610 for that.
