What is ForexTickChart.com?
ForexTickChart.com a free, web based charting application that is designed to enable technical traders the opportunity to build robust and highly effective charts along with advanced saving and collaboration features that will redefine technical analysis in the retail FX space. Through the use of our charts or the viewing of our recently added and most popular charts, retail traders from across the globe and from many different brokers can glean feedback, advice and trading ideas en route to more profitable trading.

 

We wanted to bring ForexTickChart.com to the public as soon as possible, however, that does not mean all our bugs are ironed out.  While we continue to work tirelessly to refine the product, we encourage all users to use our charts and advanced functionality and provide endless streams of feedback so we can truly bring you the best online charting platform on the market.

 

Our charts are not derived from a static database or a hybrid resource that only provides you with an idea of the market.  Our database is a historic, tick by tick account of the market that updates in real time across 28 currency pairs.  Due to this unique nature of our database, our charts may take a little while to load.  Rest assured your wait will be rewarded with the highest level of data accuracy and functionality. 

 

At present, ForexTickChart only works with Internet Explorer.  You can view charts with any browser, but the save function only works with IE.  We are currently working on the problem and should have universal browser compatability soon.

How do I share a chart?

What do you mean dealable rates? How is that different?
Most online charting platforms provide forex rates that have either been "cleaned" or are syndicated for general use. Our rates come directly from the brokers, so they represent the same prices that would be on the trading platform. Therefore, you can be certain that your analysis represents the real reatil FX market, and the prices you see were available for trading. Currently, our rates are provided by Forex.com.

 

I see you have historic rates. How far back do they go?
Our rates are provided by Forex.com and represent real market rates as far back as 2000. See the table below for more information.

When I pull up a chart, all I see is a flat line for a large portion of the time. Is this correct?
The FX Markets are closed from Friday at 5PM EST and reopen Sunday at 5PM EST. The flat lines represent times when the market is closed. You can easily scroll past these times using your mouse scroll wheel or the < > button the charts. We are working on a solution that will eliminate this need and should be rolling that out shortly.
