Get the Ticks, Renko & Range into TimeFrame class and public accessable.

Now the class only has timebased TimeFrames whilst it would be nice to also be able to choose 10 ticks or so.

In NinjaTrader it is possible to create your own custom bars, display them, backtest on them, etc. Even in realtime on the tick-data: your own bar creation!
In Amibroker you have the option to generate bars and display them (e.g. as indicator - e.g. Volatility Bars)

This is an incredible feature and would open up all kinds of new options in cTrader.
Various Renko, Tick/Time combination bars, kase Bars, etc. would not only be displayable as chart, but you could also base your indicators on it and backtest on it.

Two thumbs up on this one. Once inplemented programmers could generate their own bars from ticks.
I hope everyone who voted for different Renko Ticks, backtest on Renko, Haikin Ashi etc. will vote for this one, too!
