A Matter of Ticks

[Dave Nadeau <dave.nadeau@xxxxxxxx>]

I've been working a lot lately with ticks on a real time
chart in v7.01.  I understand and have used the Tick()
function and how it accumulates the number of ticks within
that minute.

What I've been struggling with is how to total those on a 3
minute basis, similar to the time period of the bars I
trade.  I know that I can't drag or use the function onto
anything other than a Tick chart.

The main problem with using anything with a fixed number of
periods like Sum() is that the length of the minute varies
with the number of ticks.

Has anyone solved this problem already?  Any suggestions on
what to try?

Thanks!
