FOREX Charting 

MultiCharts offers an extensive range of conventional chart types: candlesticks, bars, lines, dots, histograms, invisible bars, etc. The Volume Profile chart displays information that is not obvious from standard volume data. Charts support time-based (second, minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year) and count-based compressions (tick, the number of trades, the number of contracts traded, price movement in points). MultiCharts lets you easily plot charts for any custom compression, for instance, 3 seconds, 20 ticks, 1000 contracts or 10 points.
