An indicator where you pass in a no. N and then within the main startIndex => endIndex loop have in a list the the last N ticks .. so for a historical bar it will be the last tick of the bar plus N-1 others and for the current active bar it will be the last tick of the bar plus N-1 others ... I want to output the no. of upticks and the no. of down ticks ... mainly I want to run it on a tickBar chart but would be good to be able to looback at any number of ticks regardless of the period of the chart ... I am struggling with this a bit!

Indicators don't work with ticks, rather with 1-sec bars on tick chart. The logic would be more convenient to implement from a strategy.
See example of tick bars from chart:
