It looks like the minimum is 1 minute.

Do I have to download a custom script?

I'm interested in both MT4 and MT5.
 
I don't use tick charts so maybe this is a dumb question. Since there is no real volume data in forex how is a relevant tick chart produced? 200 ticks or price movements from broker "A" might equate to only 80 ticks from broker "B", so broker "A" would have more than twice the bars than broker "B" for the same trading day? 2 different brokers can have completely different charts?

I just need to constantly monitor the market. Anyone knows where I can download the script?
 
I am not sure whether it's dangerous to tell you. If you don't know where to download one from, then you probably shouldn't be running scripts blindly. There's a link in the software, though. ;)

READ EACH LINE OF THE SCRIPT BEFORE RUNNING IT!!

Don't worry. I'm still using a demo account. I started with the demo account of fxcm, but since it expires after 30 days and most brokers use metatrader's GUI, I decided to leave fxcm and to use a metatrader broker, but here I can't find tick charts.

"There's a link in the software, though."

I searched here but I can't find anything:
http://codebase.mql4.com/scripts

can you give me the link?
 
I can't give you a link. It's inside Metatrader's coding section. Hence "There's a link in the software".

Use Alpari for unlimited usage. They close the demo account if you don't use it for a month.

ok, I clicked on metaquote Language editor. What's the name of the file?

I have fxpro, which is also based on Metatrader.
 
Hi,

I posted this indicator 2 years ago, on this forum. Feel free to use it.
