Help, the problem with the calculation of ticks

[Papercut110]

Hello, please tell me how to make a strategy to determine what number of ticks between
(for example) Open and Close using the TickSize or perhaps differently??

Hello Papercut110,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example of code to first take the absolute value of Close[0] - Open[0] which will provide the price difference divided by the TickSize which will convert to the number of ticks:

int numberofticks = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Abs((Close[0] - Open[0]) / TickSize)) ;
