Forex questions and TOS

  1. TOS platform supports Renko but price range is in “ticks”. Does anyone know if “ticks” translate into pips for forex trading? The platform does not seem to include pips.

  2. Been trying to choose an NFA forex broker for forex scalping the 1 minute. Who should I choose. My understanding is ecn/stp brokers really don’t matter since the trading desk takes the other side in any case and they are not really interested in ripping you off. Who can I find in the u.s. for scalp trading with small spreads/

A tick is a trade. I think you set a bar to form after so many ticks. So, instead of a “5-minute” bar, you have a “233 tick” bar which could take a second or an hour to form. Has nothing to do with pips.
