Counting Ticks

[Forex Trader]

Is there a sub routine or a function that I can use to count the number of ticks?

For example, when I start an EA, I want to wait for 200 ticks before I do something. How can I do it?

Thanks.

int TickCounter = 200; // global variable

int start()
{
    if (TickCounter > 0)
    {
        TickCounter--;
        return (0);
    }

// The EA code here

}

    }

}

Thanks for the code. :)
