Tick Chart Setup

[TradeFire]

Hi

I am trading the E-mini S&P500 I am using the 5 min chart
Now I want to switch to a Tick chart when I do so
I only get weird lines even tho I choose Bar display

Is there anything I am missing here?
Symbol: CME:ES #F
Interval: Tick

Well tick charts won't have bars only a dash. This is because you've specified that you want one tick per bar, thus causing the Open, High, Low and Close to all be the same forming that dash-looking bar.

how can I make it more than 1 tick per bar?

QCharts doesn't have multi-tick bars (i.e. 133 ticks per bar.) eSignal does have this feature, so if this is a required feature for your trading, I would recommend going over to the eSignal platform for that.
