Free 1-second charts

The short answer

AlgoBars has 1-second, 5-second, 10-second, 15-second and 30-second charts free on every account. Elsewhere, second-level data is a paid upgrade: TradingView keeps second-based intervals for its Premium and Ultimate plans, TradeZella puts 1-second charts on its $59 a month Pro plan, and FX Replay keeps seconds-level data for its $35 a month Pro plan. On AlgoBars you also get tick charts, range bars built from ticks and X-Ray, which shows the price path inside each bar.

Why second-level data matters

Scalpers and order-flow traders act on moves that happen inside a single minute. Second charts show where price paused, pushed and reversed, which a 1-minute candle hides.

More detail, free

Alongside second charts, AlgoBars gives you tick charts, range bars, footprint charts, Depth of Market and X-Ray free, and you can trade straight from the chart or automate what you see.
