If you want free seconds charts for NIFTY scalping, SuperCharting has 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45-second intervals, any custom seconds interval from 1 to 59, and 1, 10, 100 and 1000-tick charts. They work on NSE:NIFTY, NSE:BANKNIFTY, F&O contracts and NSE and BSE stocks, in the browser, with indicators and alerts.

What you get
| Interval | Choices | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Seconds | 1s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 45s | Entries inside a 1-minute bar, the first reaction at a level |
| Custom seconds | Any value from 1 to 59, such as 20s | A speed between the standard choices |
| Ticks | 1, 10, 100 and 1000 ticks | Bars that speed up when the market is busy |
On every one of them you can add indicators such as EMA, VWAP or Supertrend, draw levels, and set price alerts. Put a seconds chart next to a 5-minute chart in a multi-chart layout to see the detail and the bigger picture together.
How the bars are built
The market data behind SuperCharting arrives as minute candles and live quotes, not as a record of every exchange trade. So seconds and tick bars are built from the live quotes SuperCharting records:
- SuperCharting samples quotes about twice a second. A quote that only repeats the previous one is not counted.
- A 10-second chart cuts those quotes into 10-second bars. A second with no new quote adds no bar.
- A 100-tick chart closes a bar after 100 recorded quote changes, however long that takes.
- Quotes are kept for 7 days, up to the newest 60,000 per symbol, and a seconds or tick chart shows at most 6,000 bars.
- The volume of a seconds or tick bar is the number of quote changes in it, not shares or contracts traded.
That makes these charts good for watching the market as it moves and poor for long history. A busy symbol such as NIFTY usually has plenty of recorded quotes; a stock nobody watched recently starts short and fills in while you keep it open.
What it is not
- Not exchange tick-by-tick data. A tick here is a quote change sampled about twice a second, so very fast moves inside half a second are not all visible.
- Not traded volume. On seconds and tick bars volume counts quotes. For volume at each price, use a minute chart with the volume footprint.
- Not for backtesting. Seven days of quotes is enough for intraday reading, not for a strategy test. Use 1-minute or longer bars in the Strategy Tester.
- Not on formula charts. Spreads such as
NSE:RELIANCE/NSE:TCScannot use seconds or tick intervals.
How to open a 10-second NIFTY chart
- Sign in and open
NSE:NIFTY(orNSE:BANKNIFTY). - Click the interval button next to the symbol.
- In the Seconds section pick 10 seconds. For another value, choose Add custom interval…, type a number from 1 to 59 and pick Seconds.
- Leave the chart open while the market trades; new bars arrive as quotes come in.
- Add VWAP or a fast EMA from Indicators if you use them on scalping charts.
- Click the star next to the interval to keep 10s on the top toolbar.
A scalping layout
Open a 2-chart layout with Symbol sync on: NSE:NIFTY on 5 minutes on the left and on 10 seconds on the right. Draw a horizontal line at the opening range high on the 5-minute chart. When price comes back to it, the 10-second chart shows whether the first touch was rejected within a few bars or went straight through, which the 5-minute candle hides inside one bar. Set a price alert at the line so you hear when the test starts. This is a way to read price, not a trading signal.
Frequently asked questions
Are seconds charts free here?
Yes. Seconds and tick intervals are included on every plan, including the free Essential plan.
Why is my 1-second chart almost empty?
It is built from live quotes. If the symbol was not watched recently, or the market is closed, there are few quotes yet. Keep it open during market hours and it fills in.
Can I see seconds charts for NIFTY options?
Yes, on any contract you open from the option chain, with the same quote-based building. A thinly traded strike has fewer quote changes, so its bars are sparse.
Do indicators and alerts work on seconds charts?
Yes. Indicators calculate on the seconds bars like on minutes. Price alerts watch the live price, so they fire at your level whichever interval the chart shows.
How far back does a seconds chart go?
Up to 7 days of recorded quotes, at most 60,000 quotes per symbol and 6,000 bars on the chart.
