Tick to tick problem

Hello 7robert,
Thank you for your reply.
There's a few different approaches you could take to get the number of ticks in a 1 minute bar. The simplest would likely be to run the script OnEachTick, and increment a counter on each iteration through On Bar Update, resetting the counter on the first tick of the next bar, however, this would only function in real time, unless you enable Tick Replay on the chart. Here's a basic example:
Code:namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators { public class CountTicksInMinuteBarExample : Indicator { private int Counter; private int PriorCount; protected override void OnStateChange() { if (State == State.SetDefaults) { Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here."; Name = "CountTicksInMinuteBarExample"; Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick; IsOverlay = true; DisplayInDataBox = true; DrawOnPricePanel = true; DrawHorizontalGridLines = true; DrawVerticalGridLines = true; PaintPriceMarkers = true; ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right; //Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event. //See Help Guide for additional information. IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true; Counter = 0; PriorCount = 0; } else if (State == State.Configure) { } } protected override void OnBarUpdate() { if(!Bars.IsTickReplay) { Draw.TextFixed(this, "MyTextFixed", "This indicator requires tick replay to function. Please turn this on for the chart.", TextPosition.BottomLeft); return; } if (IsFirstTickOfBar) { PriorCount = Counter; Counter = 1; if(CurrentBar != 0) { Draw.Text(this, "myText"+ CurrentBar, PriorCount + " Ticks", 1, High[1] + (2 * TickSize), Brushes.White); } } else { Counter++; } } } }
