NYSE Ticks Question

Recommended Posts

Hi SoulTrader,

 

I read your article "NYSE TICK's and TICK Strategies" about a month ago, and it has been a tremendously helpful addition to my current strategy! Thank you so much.

 

Out of curiosity, do you know why TradeStation's feed is one of the few, if not only, to calculate and display the NYSE Tick in real-time?

 

I currently use Tradestation, but was shopping for another service. I've checked eSignal and DTN's IQ Feed and others, but the Update Frequency is 3-6 seconds.

 

You and Hubert Senters are the only traders that I have come across that mention the Tick "Hook". Just wondering if either one of you got TradeStation to get that calculating quickly?

 

Also, if anyone else knows of a data feed that is doing what TS does with the $TICKS, I'd appreciate a shout.

 

Thanks.

That is interesting. I've never used TS and figured everything just reported TICK in 5 second intervals. Did you see at all if DTN/Esignal was just adding them all togather vs TS? If TS reports 100, 100, 0 -100, -100, DTN/Esignal reports 0?

I'm not sure how big of a deal this really is but it does kind of suck to not have the optimal setup with a dedicated feed.(I use DTN, its 5 second intervals if you look at the tape)

Linda Raschke mentions tick hook like patterns at +400/-400 in Street Smarts. I also love the pattern and would highly recommend getting hold of a cummulative tick indicator to go along with it. It really helps to put the hook in context. The danger is without cummulative tick you don't know if your trying to fade an over reaction or if your trying to fade the market even though things are being tipped in the direction of the hook overall at the bid/ask. Its especially bad if your trying to fade the top of a range with a hook but cummulative tick is going in the direction of the hook, good chance you get caught on the wrong side of a breakout.

There really is no correlation between readings in eSignal/DTN vs Tradestation. My DTN trail has expired, but in eSignal I can see that the reads are in the same range, eSignal just updates every 6 seconds.

 

I scalp trade, holding anywhere from 15 secs or so up to 2minutes. I've found TS $Ticks to be very helpful with the other indicators I am using. No way could I get the same info using another data feed, though.

 

 

I contacted both eSignal and DTN over the last couple weeks. Here is their response.

 

DTN:

"...we have a request in to get it calculated faster. You are the first customer ever to request our TICK values to be calculated faster so that is interesting. We are currently calculating it faster than everyone BUT Tradestation. "

 

 

eSignal:

" Unfortuantely, there is no way to increase the speed of updates for $TICK indicator. This is the interval at which the data is provided to us. It is possible TradeStation calculates this data themselves and is the reason for the difference in updates. "

 

So at least DTN is working on it. The customer service guy told me he would update me when they have it calculating faster.

 

 

If you are interested, here is a link from Sierra Chart where quite a few traders had some input. Apparently, the issue is known as "tick bundling" and most data feeds display that way.

I'm not familiar with the cumulative tick indicator, but in the TS forums, there is info about what's available -- NYSE Total volume, Advancing and Declining Issues.

It seems there are a group of traders really interested in getting even more indicators for market internals. I'm not sure if you can access TS forums without being a customer, though.

 

Re fading the top of the range, I have found that to be more difficult to predict. As Soultrader said in his article, once you begin trading with the $TICK, you can begin to develop your own strategies. I'm finding that I can spot some good opportunities as the $TICK goes from positive to negative and vice versa.

    • 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.
