Yuki,
	I had a similar problem with the ASX, so I wrote a DLL (see the files section 
ASXtick.zip).  Have a look at it's documentation and let me know if something 
like this (using Tokyo rules) would do the trick for you.

If so, let me know the Tokyo rules and I'll make a modified version for you.
