Hi,

Try this:

        private Bars _tickBars;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _tickBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Tick200);

            _tickBars.Tick += _tickBars_Tick;
        }

        private void _tickBars_Tick(BarsTickEventArgs obj)
        {
        }

Hi amusleh

I try draw Ticks to chart, but my code error. _tickBars.Tick that's the ticks needed for robots?

Please help me to check.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you are after?

Do you want to access tick time frames data? if that's what you want to do then you can use the above posted code of mine or this complete version:

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using System.Text;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Toan012speedforumreplyL5tick : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Tick TimeFrame", DefaultValue = "Tick200")]
        public TimeFrame TickTimeFrame { get; set; }

        private Bars _tickBars;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Change the time frame if you want to use other tick time frames
            // Or get the time frame via a cBot parameter
            _tickBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Tick200);
            // This will call the TickBars_Tick method every 200 ticks
            _tickBars.Tick += TickBars_Tick;
        }

        private void TickBars_Tick(BarsTickEventArgs obj)
        {
            var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

            stringBuilder.AppendFormat("New Tick bar received, Open: {0} | High: {1} | Low: {2} | Close: {3}", obj.Bars.LastBar.Open, obj.Bars.LastBar.High, obj.Bars.LastBar.Low, obj.Bars.LastBar.Close);

            Chart.DrawStaticText("text", stringBuilder.ToString(), VerticalAlignment.Top, HorizontalAlignment.Right, Color.Red);
        }
    }
}

If you are looking to execute something on each new tick, then use your cBot OnTick method or symbol Tick event in case of multiple symbols.

Hi amusleh

Thank for your reply. I'll use your guide to code cBot.

I'd like to ask you how to get the remaining ticks, add to the code above:

RE:

Hi,

Use a counter variable and count the number of ticks and subtract it from total ticks of time frame (200).

Then reset the counter when that number ticks reached (200) back to 0.

Hi amusleh

Thanks you. I will code following your suggest.
