You can have what ever ticks you want. Use the Preferences Icon (looks
like a gear).

Thanks for the doc file with instructions. I just got my TOS data
stream flowing into Amibroker.
Did you find any way to backfill? Or did you just have to collect
data each day until you had enough to make indicators useful, etc?
Any other tricks? For example, I use 400 tick charts on TOS and want
to use them in AB. How do I set up a 400 tick chart. I see the
standard 10, 20, 50, 100 tick menu items.

Yes, live futures data such as /ES is accessible via thinkorswim
thinkDesktop's DDE interface.

Is it possible to download streaming live futures data (say for
ES) using this link to TOS; i would love that as that would save
me a bit more than 100$ every month that i have to pay to a data
vendor.
thanks in advance!
