1-tick chart. detecting green and red tick events
18 May 2020, 13:21
I've attached a 1-tick chart below and you can see that sometimes there will be a red dash, and sometimes a green dash,
which I assume correlates to a bid tick and an ask tick.
Is there any way to detect whether the dashes are red or green in an indicator without using Symbol.Bid?

Hi John,
No there isn't. You need to check if the change occurred on Bid or on Ask price.

I thought I had just thought of a way I could do it before reading your post.
Could you tell me why this wouldn't work: Calculate function executes on each new tick, therefore couldn't you just
check to see if the close price of the 1 tick chart bar changed during that tick, and if not then that means it's an ask tick? and vice versa

Hi John,
On a second thought, yes that would work too.
