Hello! I am trying to find this to use for the NQ on a tick chart:

Tick Counter is a feature available for charts using Tick aggregation. This feature shows dynamic tick information for the last bar on the chart, which includes the number of ticks since the open and the number of ticks until completion. ... You can display either of these numbers or both of them.

I have tried the tick counters here and they don't seem to work, or I am using them incorrectly. Please help!

Not sure I understand the question but a more customized tick counter is available through the ecosystem.

@sidlercom
Saw your post last month in reply per the above quote. I wonder if your tick counter would do a net (eg "delta") of uptick - downtick per # of separate trades or up/down ticks by volume if easier within a chart's bar timeframe? Its similar to what's being called "Delta" in regard to footprint studies. Lets face it we ultimately need to know if greater footprint delta on (-)bid or (+)offer results in upticks or downticks respectively. I'm thinking of using tick delta as a ratio to footprint delta OR at least displayed superimposed on each other in a single study subchart on the bottom of my 5 & 1 minute price charts .

Scalper's disease is not terminal!!

My TickCounter simply takes the number of ticks from the candle BarsArray[1].TickCount
