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.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
