Hi. I want to trade on Bittrex over extremely short periods of time (just with small amounts for fun, I know how dangerous day-trading can be.)

Is there anything faster than the 1-minute candlesticks to see how the price is going up or down? The 1-minute charts only actually show up about 4 or 5 minutes after that point in time.

Can you see what's going on live by looking at the order book perhaps?

Thanks.

in Bittrex there are some settings to view the chart as desired. 30 minutes, 1 day and so on. it you can use and enjoy trading there. :)

You can use chart on tradingview.com

That is a very good charting site and I highly recommend using it however it will not solve the OP's problem. The minimum chart interval is still 1 minute on TradingView.
I haven't seen anything available for crypto trading but professional trading software usually provide tick charts. Tick is the term used to describe the data from an individual trade going through on the time and sales so a chart is then made up of bars or candles each containing the specified number of ticks. A 500 tick chart, for example, would be relatively quick in a high volume pair or you could use a 50 tick chart for a lower volume pair. This is still the early days of crypto trading and I'm sure the software available to use will eventually catch up.

The minimum interval of 1 minute on any graphs, less has not yet seen, and in this sense is not. What for so to split, to you have offered the best variants of sites with Diagrams use.

1 minute chart is the shortest amount of time in the live chart,
you will not find another live chart below that time.
the reason it's only show up after 4-5 minutes because there're no activity happened in that market for that coin.
or to be exact it's a low liquidity coin,
you can not read the movement by reading the order book,because you will be confused because of it.
a few minutes before you will see a huge buy wall,after that disappear and then come up again.
also,on Bittrex it's very hard to see it live because when something happen,
the books will be disapper for the moment(like spiky or laggy) and then show up the price after dump or pump

there is no charts faster then 1 minute because there is no point for them to exist. you don't gain any useful information from charts faster than that. even 1 minute is not useful if you ask me!

the market does not even move that fast! there are resistances that keep it from that kind of rise or fall.

if you want something like live prices, or orders in the order books then you need to either look at the orderbook in your browser or subscribe to the sockets of these exchange APIs (bittrex doesn't have it but polo does) and get it live in your bot.

It is not possible, just imagine 1 candle per second on a chart, it is impossible and probably it will bug you all the chart, because candles would be super fast.
1 minute charts are the most fair for me, and those are the ones that i used when i used to daily trade, but 5 minutes charts are useful too, because you can make a good vision about how the market was moving during that day.
There are a lot of options right now, you only need to take a look at it.

bitcoinwisdom can gives you maximum of 1 minute updated chart.. There is other chart that i think could be work in seconds updating chart.
If you know sparkprofit i am using it just to learn trading before and for trading margin the good thing there your points could be convert into bitcoin if you are success to analysis the movement of the price of bitcoin ..
I don't see any other site that we can see ore faster present accurate updated chart as of now compare to the bitcoinwisdom ..

I’ve used bitcoinwisdom.com and highly recommend, but this is a browser sites and no mobile app available, it is really not for me. Sparkprofit and HIQL are good too and has mobile app so I think it will be a better alternative for and it is really a good practicing platform for trading but it just that it works will to those who invest more.

Now I’m a travel guy, so mobile application is a must. Bitcoin ticker is what I’m using now and it works perfectly fine. There is also many option, if only you buy the pro version/subscription. But free version is good enough.

I don't think faster than 1-minute price updates wouldn't be a good idea, that's why you don't see exchanges having faster than 1 minute price updates. That would make your browser use so much resources to the point that your browser would most likely freeze because of your computer running out of available RAM, especially if you don't have a high end device.
