Tick = The price at which an individual trade has been executed.  (in close
field)

5 min = all ticks in 5 min period.  First trade=O, highest =H, lowest=L,
last=C

60 min = all ticks in 60 min period.  First trade=O, highest =H, lowest=L,
last=C

Daily = all ticks in an entire day's trading session.  First trade=O,
highest =H, lowest=L, last=C

 

Realtime = you see the ticks come through as they occur

Delayed = the ticks are delayed by X minutes

End-of-day = the ticks are only provided after the market shuts

 

Bid and Ask are completely different animals.

 

In some OTC securities (such as Forex) they do not report actual trades.  A
tick occurs whenever a new Bid/Ask pair arrives.  Therefore you either have
a Bid chart (comprised of Bids only) or an Ask Chart (comprised of asks).
