Tic Chart Bars speed for NT8

[GussJ]

Dear all,
I am looking for an indicator (timer) that prints the time between the open and close of the last tic chart value bar. in order to show the speed of the bars on specific chart.
For example if I am watching 500t chart,the speed of the bars varies based on market action and trades.
I would like to be able to see how fast or slow is the 500t chart bars are printing by calculating the time difference between the open and close of last 500t tic bar for example.
I had this indicator on older NT versions.
I am aware it is a simple code, but I am not familiar with it.
Any help or feedback is highly appreciated
Best
Gus

Hello GussJ,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You can take a couple approaches to creating this indicator.

You can create a timer that restarts after every bar close, and then you can have a custom event tied to that timer to either Print() or use Draw.Text() to display the amount of time elapsed.

Another approach would be to add a second data series that updates on each tick. You can use these single tick iterations to subtract the last DateTime of the primary data series bar from the current DateTime of the single tick data series.

We have a sample that demonstrates how a timer can be added to a NinjaScript which can be a good starting point. I will include documentation links on multi series NinjaScripts and publically available information on DateTime.

DateTime - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

If you are looking for services to develop the code for you, I can have a member of our Business Development team pass on additional information on NinjaScript Consultants who would be happy to write the code for you.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
