Hi Ninjas,
This is a simple matter but for a non-professional high-tech in deep NinjaTrader core, I'm not sure what is the best way to count Ticks. My goal is to keep an exact count of Ticks in a session from its beginning, let's say that I have a 1 Tick chart, where every Tick is a new Bar. So far, I've seen these options with my doubts:
1. Count:
Allegedly it returns the total number of bars or data points but it doesn't specify whether is for the session or the Chart. What I look for is a counter for the whole session, regardless the "Maximum Lock Bars" in a Strategy Analyzer.
2. CurrentBar:
Another counter but it seems that only counts for the Bars in a Chart. Is it possible use it for the whole session?
3. TickCount:
Since its definition is: "The total number of ticks of the current bar" it seems that in a TickChart of 1, it will always be 1, right? Can TickCount be useful in other way?
4.BarsSinceSession:
Since its definition is "The number of bars that have elapsed since the session started." , it seems that it will work as Count.
So, in your experience, what would it be the best option to achieve my goal as the fastest and flawless one?
Thank you
