Floating tick counter for Price on Volume (PoV) charts

[smessall]

I love and use the Price on Volume (PoV) charts. My main chart is a 1000 tick PoV chart and I have the built in tick counter indicator on which works fine. However, I'd like to have the tick counter floating at the current bar. I've found some community indicators that will float the tick countdown but they don't work on a PoV chart. It seems like they only work on tick, time, or volume charts. Has anyone come up with a floating bar countdown indicator that will work on a PoV chart? I've tried modifying an existing indicator but my coding skills are not up to snuff. Any help is appreciated!

Hello smessall,

Thank you for your post.

My "floating tick counter" do you simply mean that the Tick Counter (ticks remaining) is displayed under the current bar?

You could create a copy of the built-in TickCounter indicator and use Draw.Text() instead of Draw.TextFixed() to display the text (tick1) info under the CurrentBar.

For example, this would display the text 5 ticks below the low of the CurrentBar.

Draw.Text(this, "NSInfo", tick1, 0, Low[0] - 5*TickSize);
