Good afternoon, I am unable to find in settings the aggregation type TICK and aggregation period 100 Ticks. I see range bars with ticks and renko bars with ticks but not a tick based aggregation period. If not I would appreciate some help with setting up chart bars based on tick change Thank you |

Thanks for your time. I am new at Sierra and I really like it and it may be the ultimate solution for me if I can solve a few major issues along the way. You recommend choosing Number of Trades-per-bar as a solution to my question. With respect, a Trade-Per-Bar is not the same as a Tick Per Bar. Every trade is not a always a Tick, there could be 100 contracts traded at a certain one tick level without a change in Ticks. Is this maybe why this trade-per--bar option does not bring up the same Tick CHart as any other chart provider would display. Any other thoughts? Am I missing something? Kind Regards |

All standard tick charts are based on number of trades.

Maybe you want to use the 'Price Changes Per Bar' bar type:Chart Settings: Price Change Bar |

We are fairly sure you do want Number of Trades per Bar. The other thing we would add is to set Sierra Chart to a Tick by Tick Data Configuration. Follow the instructions here to do this: Tick by Tick Data Configuration Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

That's the issue I am having. Trade number is not the same as Tick Chart; there could be 10000 block trade at a certain tick without a single tick change.

It is still not clear exactly what you need. The only Bar Period Types which match what you want or close to what you want are as follows: Number of Trades Per Bar Price Changes Per Bar Volume Per Bar Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
