1-second candlesticks

Post by Riptide » Tue Jul 11, 2023 5:23 pm

Currently, the lowest timeframe available is 5-second for candlesticks.

I'd like to request 1-second to be added.  It's available on all other platforms that I use.  And it requires no to minimal effort on the part of Bookmap to add this.

1-second may sound too short to be usable.  But during time of very fast price movement (eg., economic reports, breaking news), it can be very helpful to gauge price momentum.

Anyone else needs it?
Riptide, can you please advise which platforms you use that support 1sec candles?

Hi Zack,

Tradestation, IB, and Ninja all support 1-second candles.  I know other users who mentioned this over the years, but I don't think they ever log in to this forum.  

Currently for very short term price, we select Bookmap's "Last Price" option, which is basically line chart.  The problem with that is there are times when the line is not being drawn/missing at a certain price.  Candles do not have this problem.
