Need help Modifying a volume count display to show Tick

[1043mcc]

Good Day,

I have an indicator that displays the volume countdown and want to make so it counts down tick instead. I am aware there are indicators out there that do similar to this, but this one is unique due to it's location. I am unable to contact the original developer for assistance but want this for my own use. I know squat about script

First time at this, but i feel obligated to not give away the indicator, so can i provide pieces to help in modifying the code?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards,

To add, i have been able to do a compile up to the following issue:

if (Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Tick) //check period ID = tick

{
tick = Tick[0]

i tried replacing "volume" with "tick" in the immediate line above but the errors are:

NinjaTrader.Data.Tick is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'. and
NinjaTrader.Data.Tick is inaccessible due to its protection level.

Thanks for any help.

Hello 1043mcc,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

You might want look at and compare the differences in code between the standard Ninjatrader TickCounter and VolumeCounter indicators.

In addition for other options you may want to have a look at a member uploaded tickcounter here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...d=4&linkid=513 which features:
1. Select text color.
2. Select an additional 'alert' text color.
3. Select number of ticks from bar close to trigger alert color change.
4. Select text font.
5. Option to omit the descriptive text "Ticks remaining=".
6. Choice for location of text- Top/Bottom-Right/Left or Float along Y-axis at current price.
