redratsal,
thanks for your kind progress on your coding for the tick indicator. i was wondering if there is anyway that the colors can be changed through the edit properties drop down. also can the markers on the negative level be on the bottom of the bar instead of the high of the bar. it seems to be working the way you have it on my charts but this is not during real time, i don't see why it wouldn't but will try tommorrow. this helps identify where we have broken the level lines instead of looking at the bar count. it also helps for entry on counter trend trades and continuation trades, at least for me anyways.

thanks alot,
hector

Hi,

All the credit goes to BCNTrader, find attached the version with customized colors and CalculateOnBarClose=false (default) as requested. I also modified the low and extreme low default limits so you can see that the plots were correctly coded. Be aware that COBC (bar update on realtime) can be computer consuming as far as resources are concerned (if your PC is recent there should be no problems).

i look at Tick similar to Fattails by placing a bollinger on it is can be a bit more adaptive ....the bband2 works nicely ... plus you can throw constant lines onto the indicator if you have specific levels you want to look at ... here is a quick pic ... also works nicely on Premium as well...
