the number of orders in the first 30 minutes of trading

I want to calculate the number of orders in the first 30 minutes of trading using ThinkScript in TOS. Can anyone help me with this?

perhaps this:

will solve your question.

There are several threads around on how to set up a counter to run for a set length of time. the basics look like this for your application:

declare lower;

def go = if secondsFromTime(0930) >= 0 and secondsTillTime(1000) >= 0 then 1 else 0;
def summation = if go[1] == 0 and go == 1 then tick_count else if go == 1 then summation[1] + tick_count else summation[1];

plot indicator = summation;

EDIT:

P.S. Some interesting things happen when we look at tick_count vs volume:

declare lower;

plot indicator =  volume / tick_count;
indicator.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
