One second. One summary.
Open, high, low, and close describe the interval. They cannot reconstruct the original trade count or the order of trades within it.

01 / THE DATA DIFFERENCE
Trades first.
Bars second.
A one-second OHLC bar summarizes the price range. Tick data retains the supplied trades behind that range—so activity, sequence, and price-level volume can shape the chart.
The trades behind the candle.
Individual supplied trades drive tick candles and trade-based session calculations. Tick charts reject OHLC projections instead of treating them as real trades.
Input-method comparison, not a claim that every competing platform uses bar-only data. Diagrams are illustrative. Historical time charts can load candle snapshots; tick charts and recorded-tick replay use actual trade data.
Activity-based candles
Build tick bars from trade counts, rather than reconstructing activity from timed summaries.
Price-level context
Calculate session VWAP and volume profile from ingested trades and their reported volume.
Replay the sequence
Revisit recorded ticks, pause the market, and step through price action at your own pace.
02 / INSIDE LASER
See the setup.
Keep the context.
Chart layers, trade annotations, and multi-timeframe analysis stay close to the price action.
Levels and trade annotations, together.
Indicator overlays and simulation trade controls on the chart. Preview capture; displayed PnL is not a performance claim.
