Cumulative $TICK chart

[nasdorq]

i created a cumulative $TICK paintbar if anyone is interested.  It uses the Compare Symbol indicator, so the underlying chart doesn't have to be the $TICK itself.  I have two calls for SessionInfo, which could maybe reduced to one somehow.  Thanks to Jerry and Mike for creating the loop functions.

public void MainCalculation()

{
    var TT                                             = GetTradingSessionInfo(Timestamp);
    TradingSessionInfo session = GetTradingSessionInfo(Timestamp);
    TimeSpan TS                              = (Timestamp[0] - session.SessionStart);     // number of minutes into session
    int p                                                = (int) TS.TotalMinutes;     // convert Timespan to integer
    
    if (DateTime.UtcNow<TT.DayStart.AddDays(1))     // only plot current day
    {
        SetColor(Color.Black);
        SetYValue(Sum(p,TICK));   //plots a running total using the Sum loop function
    }
}

You going to share the code?

The code didn't post initially.  I had to copy to a notepad file and then copy/paste as plain text.

with single sessioninfo call:
public void MainCalculation()
{
    TradingSessionInfo session = GetTradingSessionInfo(Timestamp);
    TimeSpan TS                              = (Timestamp[0] - session.SessionStart);     // number of minutes into session
    int p                                                = (int) TS.TotalMinutes;     // convert Timespan to integer
    
    if (DateTime.UtcNow<session.DayStart.AddDays(1))     // only plot current day
    {
        SetColor(Color.Black);
        SetYValue(Sum(p,TICK));   //plots a running total using the Sum loop function
    }
}

NOTE: this code assumes that the paintbar is running on 1 minute bars.  Could be optimized, though that would complicate the code a bit.

How would you do this to show on historical charts, a daily chart to be exact? That is, show paintbar for only the current month.

Thanks in advance

to check if the candle belongs to the current month, you do

 

if (DateTime.UtcNow.Month == TimeStamp.Month && DateTime.UtcNow.Year == TimeStamp.Year)

Thanks a lot. 

Just an FYI -- had to change "TimeStamp" to Timestamp with a small "s"

LOL - yes. I didn't run it through the editor when I typed it in, sry.
