    Another Tick Chart question

    I like to use tick charts, but there is one thing I haven't been able to figure out with esignal software.

    On a time chart it's easy to tell when a bar will end. Watch the clock. But on tick charts thats another matter.
    On some other platforms, I would just plot tick volume. So if I have a 233 tick chart, then when the tick volume bar approached 233, I knew the bar was close to ending.

    I haven't figured out how to do this with esignal. Can anyone help.

    Thanks, Pete

    In the Cursor Window there is a TicksInBar (or TIB if you use the short labels) counter that will indicate how many ticks have occurred in the most recent bar (see the enclosed screenshot that is showing that the bar is on the 24th of 233 ticks)
    Hope this helps
    Alex

      Pete,
      Or a short piece of efs should do the trick, I've not used tick charts much, but I assume it just has to increment a counter each time it (main()) runs and display a histogram (I am expecting one call for each tick).
      There maybe something around to canabalise, eg see there is a bid vs ask volume and tick analyser sample often mentioned (bidask.efs??).

        Hi Guys

        What Alex suggested worked. Thanks both of you for responding and helping.

          Boy this is a real duh moment. I thought I had it working, but didn't. Now I can't find Tickinbar at all or how to put it in the cursor box. Feel kind of dopey

          Alex, Help

            It only shows when the cursor is over the working bar (rightmost)
