I am trying to code a ShowMe script to plot with each tick but it only plots a ShowMe when the current bar finishes.

fnoor5456,

if your code allows intrabar calculations, check if "Update Value intra-bar [...]" is checked on the ShowMe's general property tab. Checking this should allow realtime intrabar updates.

Thanks,

How would i know if my code allows intrabar calculations? is there a loop i am supposed to put the code inside of or is it just the logic of the code that would make it work with intrabar data?

thanks.

fnoor5456,

you could for example add the print reserved word and check if you see prints for any real time tick that comes in.

When parts of your code are for example only executed within a check of BarStatus(1) = 2 (which means at the last tick of the bar) this would obviously block this part from being computed during the bar.
Under some conditions variables might have to be intrabarpersist when you update code intrabar, but that's hard to tell without knowing the code. For the beginning you can probably just check if you get the results you want with enabling the tick by tick computations and check further in case you don't.
