ChartsPod One-Second Candles: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained

ChartsPod builds one-second bars from public trades. Their coverage and history are bounded by the trade feed for each market.

Short answer

ChartsPod states one-second bars are built from public trades. Coverage questions: which markets support them, how much one-second history is retained, how empty seconds and reconnect gaps appear, and whether trade timestamps are exchange times. One-second data volumes are large, so retention may be shorter than for minute candles.

Common first-session mistakes:

  • Assuming long one-second history
  • Reading gaps as quiet seconds
  • Comparing venues with different trade rates

Worked example

Illustrative: a one-second study planned over a month found only recent days available at one-second resolution.
