I would like to see new types of bars where the X axis is not based on time but rather on range, number of ticks or specified volume. Some are applying standard indicators to these types of bars (or candles or any other type of chart object) with greater success as they eliminate the noise when the market isn't moving very much.

In a slow moving market bars can take a long time to complete, while new bars form quickly when the market is more active. Some of the other charting packages are now sporting these features (or have them in development) and a great tool like Metastock should have them as well.
