last tick of bar

[imalil]

Using tick charts, is there a way to check for the last tick of the bar? Looking for the tick before isFirstTickOfBar is true.

Thank you.

Hello,

There wouldn't be a specific way to get the Last tick of a bar as far as I am aware. The tick that opens a bar is the same tick that closes a bar so the events are somewhat the same.

For price values, generally, you would wait for the first tick of a bar and reference the 1 Bars Ago value on the tick series to get the Last tick of the last bars price.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

This would not work for minute, volume, range or renko bars, but for tick bars you can simply count the ticks. However, this is only possible, if the indicator is set to Calculate.OnEachTick or if it is used in tick replay mode.

bool isLastTickOfBar = false; 
if(BarsArray[0].BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType == BarsPeriodType.Tick
   && (Calculate == Calculate.OnEachTick || IsTickReplays[0] == true))
{
     if(IsFirstTickOfBar)
          tickCount = 1;
     else
          tickCount = tickCount + 1;
     if(tickCount ==  BarsPeriods[0].Value)
          isLastTickOfBar = true;
}

The code is not tested. I just wanted to show how this could be done.
