# Chart Intervals and Timeframes

TakeProfit doesn't rely on static, pre-generated candle data. Instead, it uses a dynamic time series engine built in-house. Every interval — whether it's a standard time preset, a custom time configuration, or a transaction-based tick interval — is generated on the fly using raw market data.

Calculated precisely in real time and powered by TakeProfit's own infrastructure, this approach means you're not limited to fixed presets.

## Time-Based Timeframes

By default, the platform supports standard time intervals:

* Seconds: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45
* Minutes: 1, 3, 5, 15, 30, 45
* Hours: 1, 2, 3, 4
* Days: 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month

You can also define custom timeframes down to the second or minute. Whether you're scalping on a 7-minute chart or swing trading with 3-hour setups, TakeProfit builds these dynamically from raw quote data.

Tick charts construct bars based on the precise number of successive transactions rather than elapsed time. Because each bar closes after a fixed number of transactions, activity sets the pace — bars form faster when the market is busy and slower when it's quiet, filtering out the dead time that fixed-time charts still plot.

The availability tiers for tick configurations are structured as follows:

* **1–49 ticks:** Available on the free plan, across all supported market data streams.
* **50–1,000 ticks:** Selectable in steps of 50. Currently supported on Binance, Bybit, Pepperstone, and Exness charts.

## Favorites

Mark any timeframe or tick interval with a star to pin it to your chart's top bar for quick access. This keeps your most-used configurations one click away.

## Historical Data Depth

All intervals provide maximum historical depth based on symbol data availability.

* Daily and higher timeframes offer the longest historical coverage.
* Intraday timeframes (seconds, minutes) and tick-based intervals may have duration limits depending on the specific asset class and provider.

The chart automatically adjusts to load the deepest available history for your selected interval.
