The image below shows a standard 5-minute candlestick with only the open, high, low, and close prices (OHLC).

While this candlestick indicates the OHLC values, it hides the real story of price action within those 5 minutes. As a result, you cannot analyze the exact tick-by-tick movement that constructed this candlestick.

This insight is invaluable because even if 2 bullish candlesticks share identical OHLC values, the price movement that created each can vary greatly. As shown in the image, 2 distinct tick data patterns can lead to the same candlestick, yet tell very different information about market momentum, volatility, and potential reversals.

TickData Microscope lets you uncover the full price trajectory within each candlestick, showing price data at levels as detailed as each tick, second, minute, volume, or range. Acting as a high-powered “microscope” for candlestick analysis, this indicator allows you to zoom into specific candles or a series of candles according to you preference, revealing the hidden patterns and internal price movements that form each bar. This high-resolution view offers insights to fully understand and interpret price action within every candlestick.

What are the benefits of using TickData Microscope?

• Help you uncover hidden price action within each candlestick: TickData Microscope enables you to visualize detailed price movement within individual candlesticks - delivering insights beyond traditional tools. This advanced view captures subtle shifts in price, giving you a more accurate, real-time understanding of market behavior.
• Help you find entry and exit points with precision: With TickData Microscope’s granular view of price trajectory, you can analyze and identify entry and exit points earlier, improving your trade timing and positioning.
• Help you increase the reliability of signal candlesticks: You can verify the strength of signal candlesticks by analyzing their internal price patterns.
  For example, when a bullish candlestick displays an internal accumulation pattern, such as a double or triple bottom, followed by upward movement, it strengthens the reliability of the bullish signal.
  Conversely, a bearish candlestick showing a distribution pattern, like a double or triple top followed by a downturn, adds confidence to a short trade setup.
• Help you recognize hidden support and resistance levels: TickData Microscope enables you to identify price gaps and uncover imbalance zones by analyzing the intricate price movements within each candlestick.
• Support for price action and scalping traders: This indicator is effective for price action analysis, serving as a key resource for scalping strategies where precision is important.
• Improve other indicators' accuracy: You can combine TickData Microscope with any technical indicator to increase the reliability and accuracy of your trading signals.
• Develop adaptable trading strategies: With clear visibility into detailed price movements within each candlestick, you can create a variety of trading strategies that respond to different market conditions.

What modes can you use to analyze data effectively?

TickData Microscope offers 2 modes tailored to your analysis needs, whether you're focusing on current market conditions or reviewing historical data.

• Auto mode: The indicator automatically analyzes and displays detailed data for (N) candlesticks, starting from the current candlestick and extending back based on your settings.
• Manual mode: You can specify the location, range, and number of candlesticks you wish to analyze.

Important: The timeframe used for analyzing a single candlestick or a series of candlesticks must be greater than the timeframe of the data you want to examine. For example, if you're looking to analyze tick data for a 1-minute candlestick, you'll need to use a timeframe of 1 minute or higher.
