Hi MongolTrader,

You can create a counter that counts how many times OnTick() has been invoked and reset it every minute. You can use the Timer for this.

Hi MongolTrader,

Here is a starting point

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Collections;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot2 : Robot
    {

        private int _tickCounter;
        
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // To learn more about cTrader Automate visit our Help Center:
            // https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-automate

            Timer.TimerTick += Timer_TimerTick;
            Timer.Start(60);
        }

        private void Timer_TimerTick()
        {
           _tickCounter = 0;
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Handle price updates here
            _tickCounter++;
            Print(_tickCounter);
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Handle cBot stop here
        }
    }
}
