Hello there,

Does anyone know how to create tick charts out from mq4 codes?
Thanks in advance.

Search my prior posts for an indicator that does that.

Refering to kent previous post, does it only works in 1 minute chart?

What i meant was an indicator that can plot a candle for number x ticks or show the number of ticks in a candle. Do you think it is possible?

from kenz indicator, it can plot a candle based on number of ticks but we have to refresh the offline chart manually to update it.

Anyone know how to run it automatically?

No not ticks - I don't post exe-s.

Start LogTickData.mq4, wait a few minutes and then start PostTickData.mq4.
Go to File, Open Offline, and find the file there. If you do 5 ticks it will look like a 5-minute name.
The tick file will update automatically with every tick received from the server.
One problem I noticed with some version of that is that there is a maximum limit on the new filename length and it just gets truncated and then things don't work - let me know if that happens here. Ken.

Hi .... maybe i'm going to say a stupid thing...
Knowing that the volume indicator on mt4s platform is the sum of ticks,
would there be a chance to use it for gathering bars of 512 ticks only or whatever number of defined ticks?

I used this indicator on the majors on a dummy server. The resulting file sizes vary considerably and so do the number of rows.

Is this because of a limitation of the indicator, the feed from the dummy server, the data itself, or something else like hardware (network connection, disk write speed, etc).

Cheers for any ideas
