Uptick Downtick for NT7

[baba123]

I created an indicator to allows me to access Uptick & downtick on a historical basis.
I don't understand why this is not a standard feature on NT even though this has been available on Tradestation or Multichart etc...for a long time.

Seems to work fine though I am not 100% sure about the result (see the picture).

But when I try to use it in another indicator it won't work. For example, this snippet :

Down += Downtick[10];

I get the CS0021 error type so basically I cannot re-use it in another code. How can I make it work like Close,High,Low ?

baba123, I didn't see Down or Downtick anywhere in your code. How are you trying to implement this downtick indicator in other indicators? The CS0021 error means a variable is trying to be accessed like an array or a dataseries.

because this is in ANOTHER script. Try to put this snippet in a script and you will understand the issue I am running threw....

Maybe I should write Downtick()[x] when using it in another code ?
I also have a problem with Downtick as an indicator because NT will see it as a DataSeries (like any indicator) and I want it to be an IntSeries. This way I don't have to convert it each time I call it. Is it possible ?

Nevermind, I finally get it to work :-)

You can close this thread.

I would love to have uptick downtick. Is it something you wouldnt mind passing on?
