Hello,
Forex Tester program doesn't allow creating tick chart, only time based charts with timeframes M1 and higher.
You can add the tick chart via View -> Show Panels -> Tick Chart menu.

Ha! You've been reading 'Forex Scalping'. A 70 tick bar is the give away.
It's possible to do but not easy without programming skills. You'd basically need to get your own source of ticks, convert them 70 tick bars, put a hypthothecal time on each bar 1min apart (so that FT3 thinks they are minute bars) then save them out in FT3's own proprietary format. Not easy but it can and has be done
This is still a bit of a hack as with a minute bar, FT3 will see a bar as four ticks corresponding to OHLC. There is no way FT3 can know whether the H or L comes first
