+Time-Based Charts
+Time-based charts generate a new bar or line point after a set amount of time has passed. Depending on your preferences, this can be anywhere from one minute to a week or year.
+Trade-Based Charts
+A trade-based approach will use what is commonly referred to as a “tick chart” to help visualize the momentum behind the move in price. A tick chart generates a new bar or line point after a certain number of trades have occurred.
+Tick charts will generate new bars faster during time of high volume and more slowly during times of low volume. The speed of new bars being formed may allow a trader to better visualize increasing and decreasing volume in a market.
