For tradestation:

is there a way to create an indicator based on tick count?
i would like to create and indicator based on tick counts so that
there are 3 MAs being drawn on a chart but they are based on tickcounts.

Hi ephi144,

Yes, you can build tools based on Tick Counts...
The count itself can be obtained by UpTicks & DownTicks.

Here is an article I discussed some Intrabar Execution tools
using Time & Tick Counts etc. (Stocks and Commodities Magazine, July 2008)

ok..i tried to use tick to get number of ticks but it returns 0 all the time.

------------
vars: BI(0),Totaltick(0), currTicks(0);

BI = BarInterval;

currTicks = ticks;

breakpoint("test");
------------

the currTicks is always 0

a quick referral to the manual might get you the definition and "meaning" of "ticks".



hint: EasyLanguage definition is not necessary what you assumed.
