How to determine when a vertical gridline has been crossed (on a Tick Chart)?

[NinjaCustomer]

If you pop up a tick chart, let's say 200 ticks, then there are these vertical grid lines every so often.

Is there any way to know programatically when a new line has been drawn?

e.g. in a time chart you would just know it occurs every so many minutes... but I have no idea how to know in tick chart.

I want my strategy to know when a vertical grind line on a tick chart has been crossed.

Hm? My vertical grid spacing is based on how many bars have passed. There is a new line every 6 bars (so it would be bar 1,2,3,4,5,line with bar 6,1,2,3,4,5,line&6).

This is the case regardless of time interval of the chart.

how do you know if you are on bar 2 or 5 for example of the 6? and how do you programatically determine the interval is 6 bars?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

You can do math based off of the CurrentBar property. I don't know why you would need to programmatically determine the spacing is 6 bars? That is just the way NinjaTrader was designed to place that spacing for the vertical gridlines.

thanks, just a simple way to exit the trades on non-time based charts.

Ok. Well the lines are based off of number of bars and not a time/tick interval so my previous suggestion about some math with CurrentBar should do.
