How to display how many ticks are in a candlestick?

I would be like to see the last 5 candlesticks tick value, with the current candlestick counting upward. At the very least on mouse over the tick value for each stick show in a text bubble.

Is there anything like this?

The attached images are actually PIPs from some random Forex indicator. I need this for ticks (Futures).

Hi, any reason why a tick chart will not work? When I use tick charts it also shows me the current tick count (incrementing) and remaining. I’m using multicharts. Cheers, joeyzaza

You would need to create an indicator that counts the ticks of each bar and then displays the result on the chart above the candles. Not difficult to code.
