Can someone help me make this $TICK study easier to read?
Someone produced this for me upon request looking for a new set of TICK indicators, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I love it. I was wondering if its at all possible to have the lines more spread apart so its easier to read? The lines are so close together when viewing it on a "normal" sized lower study. The best way to view it, I have found, is to make it really really big so you can make out the divergences and convergences easier. I even commented out the CumTick.SetLineWeight(3); to see if smaller lines would help, but no dice, really.
Here is how it looks when I blow it way up:
Was messing around with the cumulative tick lookback period, and seems to help some. Wasnt sure if anyone else had any good ideas?

. If it still doesn't look good, mess around with the # of day(s) look back you have. For me, I got it to look the best (and accurate) at 5D:2M(min) with after hours turned off. So could above is still intact and unchanged.
