I got this code from the TS Forum. Here's the tick counter as requested.

Thanks torero for that


Just an insight for anyone who downloads it and uses a Black background ( as most people do ). You'll have to change the non-alert colour in the input section, if you want to see the full number of ticks and not just the last 10.

is anyone else having issues with this indicator?
i have it running on a 233 tick chart... and it starts counting down from 233 at the beginning of each candle... but by the time the candle closes it is reading anywhere from -300 to -700... never the same...
thanks in advance...

I never had a problem with this indicator at all and been using for more than a year now. What version TS are you using? Do you have an image of it?

Build 1355 (8.3)
had to upgrade... was having a few issues with my version of 8.2...

it must be counting contracts instead of ticks?

Took me a little while to figure this out too, even though the comments in the indicator's code actually tries to help us! Go to Format Symbol > Settings tab. If you've set the Interval as type "Tick," you'll have a drop-down labeled "For volume, use:" -- set it to tick count. Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to accurately count ticks as well as track volume in the same chart. Irritating, but so it goes, I guess....

i knew it was going to be something unbelievably simple...

thanks for your help! little light on volume at this hour... but i'm sure that was it!

thanks to both torero and biegea!!!
