Hey there, fellow traders! If you're looking to up your game in real-time trading, let me introduce you to the Ticks Collector indicator for MetaTrader 4. This nifty tool collects vital price data, including tick arrival times, Bid prices, and Ask prices. You’ll see these prices displayed as lines in the indicator's subwindow, and all the collected data can be saved to a special tick file (that’s a .tks file, for those who are curious).
But that’s not all! The Ticks Collector also allows you to plot and maintain some unique chart types:
- Isochronous Charts: These can have a period as short as 1 second.
- Range Bar Charts: Perfect for visualizing price movements without the noise.
- Equivolume Charts: These give you a clearer picture of trading volume alongside price action.
For each of these chart types, you can choose a specific price type:
- Bid Prices: This is the standard method used in MT4.
- Ask Prices: Here, you’ll see real Ask prices displayed instead of adding the spread value to the Bid price.
- Combined Price Representation (Type 1): Close at min Bid and open at max Ask. This shows the maximum distance the market moved towards a profitable trade, assuming you opened in the right direction based on a candlestick price.
- Combined Price Representation (Type 2): Close at max Ask and open at min Bid. This chart highlights the maximum price amplitude on a candlestick.
