Help with custom tick counter

[augustfay]

Hello I was hoping someone could help me edit this indicator. It shows a tick counter floating next to most recent bar. I would like it so if I switch to a time based chart the tick counter switches to a time countdown for the candle. Right now it just gives an error message if I use it on time. I prefer the floating countdown to the standard NT counters which are placed in the corner of the chart and take your eyes away from the price action. I wish this was a standard feature. I don't know of any alternative, and I would prefer to not have to switch indicators. I am hoping this is an easy fix, I am not a coder but I could edit the script if someone can point me to where. I am hoping this is not too difficult to accomplish. Thank you and best.

Hello augustfay, thanks for posting.

The support team will not be able to modify any custom scripts, unfortunately. The modification would require you to check what bar type is being used like it is checking for tick based bars currently:
BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType == BarsPeriodType.HeikenAshi && BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodType == BarsPeriodType.Tick) ? BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodValue : BarsPeriod.Value

Then displaying a different value when the bar type is not tick based.

This post will remain open for others to view and help.

Best regards,
