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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
