Cumulative Tick Counter

[Trendman]

I wrote what I thought was an easy code to count and display accumulative tick count. The display for some reason does not include the first bar. I am using the secondsTill Time function to say every new day set the counter to zero as I am only interested in viewing the cumulative tick for each day. I included the code on a 15 minute bar chart of the $TICK chart and at the end of the day the total tick count displayed does not balance, it is missing the value of the first 15 minute bar.

I think I need a fresh pair of eyes on this!


def TickValue = close(symbol = "$TICK");
def CumTickValue = if secondsTillTime(930) < 0 and secondsTillTime(1600) > 0 then TickValue + CumTickValue[1] else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "Cum Tick: " + CumTickValue, if CumTickValue < 0 then Color.Red else Color.green);

# End Code

Thank

Just a minor change. I have included a debug option to display an addchartbuble to assist when debugging.

def TickValue = close(symbol = "$TICK");
def CumTickValue = if secondstillTime(930) <= 0 and secondsTillTime(1600) > 0 then TickValue + CumTickValue[1] else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "Cum Tick: " + CumTickValue, if CumTickValue < 0 then Color.Red else Color.green);
input debug = yes;
addchartBubble(debug and cumtickvalue,low,cumtickvalue,color.white,no);
# End Code

Thank you for the response. I do see the chart bubbles, however i am trying to reset the cumulative counter to zero at the start of each new day so the cumulative counter would display today only. The change you made displays a cumulation of all days.

The bubbles were justt to trouble shoot the problem you were having with the code not accessing the first 15 minute bar of the day. The ciode does start over the count each day because of your condition. I have added a constraint (getday() = getlastday()) to the bubbles if you are considering using them to just display on the last day's activity. It still shows that the same values are in the bubbles before the constraint was added.

def TickValue = close(symbol = "$TICK");
def CumTickValue = if SecondsTillTime(930) <= 0 and SecondsTillTime(1600) > 0 then TickValue + CumTickValue[1] else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "Cum Tick: " + CumTickValue, if CumTickValue < 0 then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);
input debug = yes;
AddChartBubble(debug and GetDay() == GetLastDay() and CumTickValue, low, CumTickValue, Color.WHITE, no);
# End Code

Got it, thank you so much.
I originally tried GetDay() == GetDay[1] and when that did not work I tried the SecondsTilTime.
Again, thank you for your help. The debug helped a lot.
