Tick Size Calculation

How can the the tick size for a chart using EL be calculated. I thought the following would return a numeric value for TickSize but it does not seem to work.


vars: TickSize( MinMove / PriceScale ),

I need the tick size calculated so that I can say multiply it by a whole number for an offset input and have my studies plotted correctly on any chart.

This seems like a standard bit of code but I cannot seem to work it out.

Re: Tick Size Calculation

TickSize is MinMove / PriceScale


check your indicator scaling... make sure it is the same as the symbol.
