Stalor do you want it as a trigger chart (I.e. faster) or to be a similar speed to the 15 minute? In any case get a rough idea of the total ticks for a day and then divide by 6.5 * 4. Thats 6.5 hours * 4 15 minute bars an hour and will give a similar length bar to the 15 minute. Divide by a further 5-7 to get a faster 'trigger chart'. From memory 2000 tick was roughly equal to 15 minutes but I think you will need double that nowadays.

What basis do you have for this observation?

Well fs My basis is 8 years of experience watching & trading the market. All seasoned traders I've met & know will tell you that 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30 give or take 5 minuites are key reversal times in the AM ,,,,,2:00 2:30 3:00 are the PM reversals or continuations which ever the case may be. It's been my experience that more volume usually comes into the market around those times. Traders call the time between 11:30 & 2:00 the doldrums, for obvious reasons, thus not good odds for catching a runner. Hope this helps.....ST

I've started watching a 512 on the ES & 233 on NQ they seem to pair up well that way & do give a lil different perspective than a time chart.
