Clear Tick Indicator

Recommended Posts

The tick indicator ($TICK) is a very popular market internal however, I believe its efficacy is dropping as evidenced by increasingly frequent divergences. It is my understanding that the TICK is constructed with tick data from the entire NYSE listed equities. Is there any way to filter the TICK down just to the 500 stocks that constitute the S & P 500 like the TIKI, which only reflects the DOW 30?

Neoticker has attempted something similar with their TICK16 indicator.

It could be done, but you would need very good pc resources... my question is : will it really give you an edge ?... I find hard to believe that 1 tick fluctuation up/down on x +- stocks can give really a trend bias... If I was to build an indicator with the 500 sp`s and go definitive waco, I would create a composite delta of the 500 stocks and measure their true buy/sell pressure on x (variable input) back... that would be my dream... what platform.. dont know... cheers Walter.

The way i understand it MetaServer connects to the tradestation server and the tradestation platform gets its data from your local metaserver.

MetaServer allows you to create your own symbols (that's how i think it works)

NYSE consists of 2,764 issues. That's 2,264 more than anyone needs to see reflected in the TICK. I cannot believe that such an excessive number of equities will not distort and muddy the TICK.

Sparrow: as I understand it, it is a data issue. NYSEData provides the info. that constitutes the TICK Indicator. It would require cooperation on their end or high level programming on the chart vendors' side to develop a true TICK Indicator. Please correct me if I am wrong.

IMO either up to the NYSE to provide a new clear tick indicator, your data provider, or given enough bandwith, computer power, some good ideas and the right software you can pretty much do it yourself. Also depends on how many symbols your data provider allows you to view simultaniously.

 

MetaServer has got a trial period btw and i am in no way affiliated with the company which sells it nor getting any money from them(unfortunately).

Maybe there's some other software which can do it, or it can be done inside TS.

 

If you think it's worth the effort, give it a shot.

Sparrow,

 

I believe Blu-Ray posted a Volume_Divergence indicator that measures upticks vs. downticks and can be applied to the specific issue your trading. This would ideally be much more accurate since you can see the data for what you are specifically trading as opposed to the entire "market summary". Hope this is what your looking for.

 

If it's not, then you could take the basis of what he did with the indicator and if you could code all the symbols within the code and measure all the upticks for each and all the downticks for each (that's ALOT of code) and average them out, I think it could be do-able. I'm just not sure if you could have that many datastreams for 1 indicator or if it's possible within the code. You could try upticks of Data1, upticks of Data2 etc. and have them all on the same chart (the different ticker symbols) but hidden. I don't remember how many Datastreams TradeStation supports. Hope that makes sense and hope it's helpful.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
