High-Definition Charting
Multiple Timeframes in the Same Chart
TickNTick features the ability to plot, in the same chart window, several dissimilar data series. The data series can be of different symbols, with different timeframes, and from different data feeds, all at once.
Customization & Flexibility Nearly every visual aspect of the chart's appearance can be customized: axes, background, grid, status line, and more. This provides for unmatched flexibility in presenting the data.
Here is a partial list of the customization options:
• The overall appearance of the chart, the color and width of every chart component
• Bar spacing, zoom, top and bottom margins, as well as the margin on the right edge of the chart
• Chart compression, locating all of the data, even a million bars, within one screen
Interactivity : An innovative feature of TickNTick, setting it apart from conventional charting software, is the object-oriented user interface. This translates into intuitive, easy-to-use application, and dramatically reduces the learning curve. To interact with any object, such as a data series, a price scale, or a chart background, simply click on it. The appropriate menu will appear, giving you the choice of only the relevant options. There is no need to spend time going through a complex menu structure - you are only one click away from anything you want to do. To move an object, such as a toolbar or a data series, simply "grab" it with the mouse and drag it to a new position. A scale can be stretched or compressed with just a "click and drag" of the mouse. Setting parameters and maneuvering objects has never been easier or more efficient.
Advanced Analytics :
• Extensive Choice of Analysis Techniques with Advanced Options TickNTick comes with over two hundred pre-built studies for an in-depth market analysis, covering the most popular trading concepts and indicators.The analysis techniques in TickNTick have a number of advanced options:
• Custom Alerts All indicators have the built-in standard alerts, which can be used as-is or modified. An alert can be chosen to suit your needs - visual, audio and e-mail as well as a custom sound or text. Alerts can be set to be triggered intra-bar or on close of a bar.
• Study Templates Often a number of indicators are used as a set, and several of these sets are routinely interchanged. Study templates, incorporating the particular indicators for each set, can be created once and then applied anytime, with just one click, to any chart. You can easily switch between different templates, or apply several templates at once.
• Study Customization & Flexibility Every visual aspect of each study's appearance can be customized, providing unmatched flexibility in presenting the data. Here is a partial list of the customization options:
• The overall appearance of the study, the type, color, style, and weight of every plot
• Use an indicator on an indicator
• Remove all studies or drawings with a single click
• Visual order of indicators and price series
• Select the data stream for the study to be based on
• Last price marker on or off for every study plot
• Screen, entire data series, user defined, or same as symbol scale type
• Linear or semi-log axes
• Reveal market information with Volume Profile chart
• Intelligent Drawing Tools A broad range of intelligent drawing tools, for highlighting trends, gaps, and other price patterns, is provided. In addition to the usual visual parameters (color, style, weight, and font), the actual coordinate values can be edited for a greater degree of accuracy. Simply click and drag with the mouse to draw, resize, move, rotate, or extend Trendlines, Gann Fans, Support & Resistance lines, or other objects. Drawings can be cloned, or completely removed, or their visual order changed, all with a single click of the mouse.
• Built-in Volume Profile Histogram TickNTick features a built-in advanced analytical tool - a volume profile histogram, which displays the transaction volume at each price level that the security has traded at over a time period. The price range to base the volume profile on, the style, and other parameters can easily be set.
• Built-in Volume Profile Histogram TickNTick features a built-in advanced analytical tool - a volume profile histogram, which displays the transaction volume at each price level that the security has traded at over a time period.

Powerful Data Management :
• Vendor Symbol List TickNTick offers the convenience of utilizing the symbol lists provided by data vendors. The lists can easily be searched by partial name or description, freeing you from having to keep the track of the exact symbol names of thousands of symbols on the lists.
• Online & Offline Server Modes Data server mode selection provides flexibility for working with data feeds. In addition to the usual online mode, TickNTick can be used to work on strategies and chart analyses offline, using the data automatically stored on the hard drive for offline access. If a data feed is available only on weekdays, the locally stored data can be used on weekends.
• Data Gap Filling TickNTick collects and locally stores all of the data received from the real-time data feeds. Any gaps in the locally stored data are automatically filled by obtaining data from historical data feeds. The process is highly efficient, obtaining only the missing historical data rather than data for the entire period. If a data feed makes gap filling impractical by forcing a lengthy download of 24 hours of data for any intraday query, the feature can be disabled.
• Data Editing The locally stored data can be viewed and edited, and bad ticks quickly and easily found and corrected. It is possible to add new or delete existing data.
