Code for getting consecutive up and down tick direction

Gbenga Ayodele 2020.11.26 07:20

int Cur_p = Ask, initi_p = 0,cnt=0;
     
if(Cur_p>initi_p){
     cnt=cnt+1;
     initi_p =Cur_p; }if(Ask<initi_p) cnt=0;

Please any help on why this code is not working.

i need a code to calculate consecutive up tick and down tick to get how fast price is moving in each direction.

It's not working because you don't save anything between ticks (init_p and cnt are zero each tick). You would if they were static/global variables.
It's not working because truncating to an int. Prices are doubles.

open order at new min max profit/loss before Is anything wrong with
