Second charts move similar to tick charts

[DrDeath]

I use 1 and 5 second charts but for some reason they behave similar to tick charts, meaning that they move only if there is a change in price. I need a constant time scale, but because of this bug, scale on time axis differs depending on the activity of the market. As far as I know, other people have a similar problem. I tried to find a solution on this forum but failed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS. Looks like I posted in a wrong thread. I thought its a NT 6.5 support thread. Could you please transfer it to a correct one?

That is correct behaviour. I assume that what you mean is if you have a 5 second chart, you want to see increments on the x-axis in 5 seconds? Right now, there could be missing increments if no tick came in during that bar time.

This is currently by design since NT creates charts driven by bars and not time. It is on our list to include time driven bar creation.

Thanks for a prompt reply! Thats exactly what I meant.

Have there been some updates which fixed this kind of problem?

Hello Eclipse,

Thank you for your post.

This is expected behavior as NinjaTrader charts are event driven, meaning charts require a tick to build a bar.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Yes NT charts are event driven by default, but what I'm asking is if there has been an update that allows the possibility to have time driven bar creation.
As NinjaTrader_Ray had said in post #2 of this thread.

Thanks

Hello Eclipse,

Thank you for your response.

There have been no updates to allow for time based charts.
