Display PCB counter value on chart

[jian1247]

On a PC chart, the Cursor Window displays a count of the price changes (PCB n/m). Is it possible to show the count next to the current PC bar, or to replicate the PCB calculation and show this next to the current bar?

I have tried using calculations based on changes in getMostRecentTrade(), or changes in close(), or changes in getMostRecentBid()/getMostRecentAsk(), but the figures produced by all these are different from the PCB figure shown in my Cursor Window.

Hello jian1247,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm also seeing the problem you've described in replicating the PCB count. I'm investigating this issue.

Hi Jason

Have you made any progress on this?

Hello jian1247,

No new information to report at this time. This issue may not be looked into until a release sometime beyond 10.0.

2 years on now since last reply and we are up to ver 10.4, so thought it might be worth checking if anyone has been able to script an efs file to duplicate the PCB count from the cursor window onto a PC chart?

Thanks,

FYI what Jason was referring to was not an efs issue but a problem with how P interval charts were built and as far as I know that was resolved in version 10.1 which was released some time last year
You can just create a simple counter that resets to 1 at every new bar and counts every price change [ie where the price is different from the one at the previous tick]. If you run a search for the keyword tick counter* you should find several examples of tick counters [or reverse tick counters] which you can adapt to your needs
