TIKI to trade the Dow?

Recommended Posts

Newbie question, what is a tiki?

 

The TIKI is the same as the TICK except it applies to the 30 Dow stocks.

 

It is simply the upticking stocks minus the down-ticking stocks. The TIKI is not as useful as the TICK but I do use it for my trading tool.

 

What's important is watching out for the extreme TIKI readings. The rest is noise. I have lines plotted across +26, +28, +30, -26, -28, and -30. Extreme readings are potential fades.

 

The TIKI is also used to watch out for buy or sell programs kicking in. If the TICK and TIKI is both at extreme readings, price movement is most likely caused by sell/buy programs.

Very nicely explained. I am familiar with the TIKI but I have found it to be completely useless in my trading.

 

Combine it with the premium. The TIKI can give you a heads up before buy and sell programs kick in.

 

But overall, I don't use it too much.
