Sub-minute bar charts display bars with millisecond precision.
They are similar to regular bars except that they are built at the time of the request, as opposed to being pre-built as, for example, 1-minute bars.
Sub-minute chart data can be displayed as bars, lines, or candlesticks (see display parameters).
You cannot use this chart type with Signal Evaluator or Market Profile.
