Creating a cumulative tick indicator

[Magnum29464]

I'm trying to create a cumulative tick calculator, but i'm completely new to programming. I understand some of the basic principles of programming but trying to build this indicator is perplexing and taking away from my trading. I know its not a difficult indicator but I'm having trouble getting my arms around it.

i want the indicator to tally every time the tick crosses +600 and subtract everytime the tick crosses -600.

any suggestions on where to start? should I use the bar low and high to measure the crosses. Im not even sure where to start. I've done the tutorial but that doesn't seem to be much help...

any help you all can give will be greatly appreciated...

Take a look at these first...

click on Tools>EditNinjascript>Indicator to look at the code. Just "Save As" if you want to experiment!
Do a search in the indicator section of the forum to find the threads.

How would I go about creating a threshold for the tick. I only want ticks over 600 and -600 to tally...

You would need to either dive in yourself and modify the code or put in a request for the original author to make the changes.
