Tick Window

Recommended Posts

SoulTrader, I have watched many of your trading videos and I like your style. It make perfect sense. Plan your trade, track the price and trade with the tide.

 

On that note, I would like to watch the tick window like you do but I don't know how to get it going. Today was the first day I was able to really watch a few stocks with TS. I think I'm really going to like it. I'm coming from ScotTrader (not Scottrader Elite) and this is a whole new world for me.

 

I looked at most of the chart indicators today but haven't found the tick indicator. Where the heck it it? Thanks

Hi Robert,

 

Are you referring to the NYSE tick, time of sales or 233 TICK chart?

 

The symbol for the NYSE tick is $TICK. I use a 1 minute line on close $TICK chart. For the time of sales, see the attachment below. What I have done for the time and sales (tape for short) is divide it into two columns. The left hand column shows all transaction and the right hand column shows big lots or more. You can adjust it to fit your trading accordingly.

 

For the 233 TICK chart, just right click on your chart and format symbol. You should see an option to change your timeframe or tick. Let me know if you need more help.

Open a new chart. Input the symbol $TICK and change the timeframe to 1 minute. Then use a line on close chart. I like to plot a horizontal line at the zero line.

 

Also, look into hotkeys. They are extremely useful with chartwork. I have the letter "H" set to horizontal line for example.

What do you mean? The $TICK is just an market internal symbol which takes the stocks upticking versus stocks downticking on the NYSE. It doesnt measure the up/down differently for every symbol. The same $TICK is used by all traders.

 

I think Tingull also uses the Russell TICK as well.

There's a NYSE TICK, Nasdaq TICK and the Russell TICK, too. Not all data vendors have the Russell TICK, but all should have NYSE and Nasdaq. I'm not sure what it is for Tradestation, but for dtn the Nasdaq is nastick.z

So... Theres not one for each symbol! Ha! That's very interesting. Is there one for the nasdaq too? What is the correlation with the symbols? Is it the sum total of all ticks from the exchange or is it when you have it sync'd up with one of your charts it correlates to that symbol? I guess I know what I'll be reading about tonight.

 

I was watching one of the videos you did and every time the tick hooked down, the symbol hooked down. I guess that is why I'm confused about this. It seemed if they were connected in some way.

NYSE:

 

$trin - General market sentiment

 

A Trin reading below 1.0 is ""healthy"" i.e. the bias is up.

A Trin reading above 1.0 is ""sickly"" and the bias is down.

In general a range between 0.75 and 1.25 is flat or neutral.

 

$tick - TICK is a very simple indicator measuring the number of NYSE stocks currently trading on an uptick vs those trading on a downtick. It provides a very nice snapshop view of who is in control in the battle between the Bulls and the Bears.

 

Nice, short but pretty thorough. Day Trading - a leading day trader teaches you day trading

 

 

NASDAQ:

 

$TICT TICK Indicator <---- does not work on TS

 

You can find all of them for all indicies here:

I watched the tick and trin pretty much all day today and find that I agree with you guys that there is definately a relationship in the price action that occurs. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I'm 100% positive I will be a better trader always keeping in mind the tick and trin.

 

I'm sure this is old news to most of you but to me, this is a HUGE breakthrough! :)

I found a TS Radar indicator for Tick and Trin. If going up it turns green, going down it turns red. It's not the same as looking at the actual chart window but you could shorten the tick chart a little and put it at the bottom left of the workspace. May be a little overkill but its sort of neat.

    • Date: 19th November 2024. S&P 500 Earnings: Analysts Predict Walmart Will Outperform. The Great British Pound retraces upwards breaking the Dollar’s seven-day winning streak. Meta stocks continue to fall after the European Commission imposes a fine of 797 million Euros due to unfair conditions. Susan Collins, the chairperson of the Federal Reserve of Boston, said that a 0.25% rate cut could be considered in December, but it depends on forthcoming economic data. The Federal Reserve indicates a rate cut would depend fully on November’s NFP and inflation rate. GBPUSD – Lack of Confidence In The Great British Pound! The GBPUSD ended the day 0.45% higher, mainly gaining momentum within the US trading session. According to technical analysts, the decline was largely due to a break in the US Dollar’s trend but also investors temporarily purchasing the significant dip in the exchange rate. However, in order for the bullish price movement to maintain its upward momentum it is important for the GBP to obtain support from a further price driver. When looking at technical analysis, even with the upward price movement which rose to yesterday’s mentioned targets, the price continues to move in line with bearish trend theories. In order to break out of the pattern, the GBPUSD will need to push higher than the 1.27210 level. However, this would require Dollar weakness as well as investor confidence in the GBP returning. Investors’ confidence in the GBP has taken a dip since the UK Autumn Budget and fear of possible Trump US-UK tariffs. Technical indicators pointing towards a potential further rise are likely to arise if the GBPUSD increases above 1.26791. Investors are scrutinizing recent US Federal Reserve comments, adding uncertainty to future actions. Before the election, experts expected continued rate cuts, but Donald Trump’s victory and plans for tax cuts and higher import duties have reduced this likelihood. According to analysts, a reduction in the Fed’s Fund Rate will primarily depend on November’s employment and inflation data. The Fed will particularly wish to see inflation fall in order to cut a further 0.25%. Yesterday, the CME Fed-Watch tool illustrated a 65% chance of a cut. Today the possibility of a cut has fallen to 58%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated there’s no urgency to lower rates, while Boston Fed Chair Susan Collins suggested a possible December cut of 25 basis points, depending on data. In contrast, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee hinted at further reductions, totaling 125 basis points by 2025.   USA500 – Investors Expect Walmart to Beat Earnings Expectations! The US stock market on Monday was a day of two halves and did not point towards a clear trend. Nonetheless, the downward price movement clearly lost momentum. The reason for the downward trend was primarily due to the higher inflation rate and lower possibility of another interest rate cut in December. However, certain news from individual companies also pressured the index. Alphabet continues to come under pressure from the DOJ to sell Chrome in its search to crack down on Google’s monopoly. In addition to this, Meta came under pressure as the EU imposes another fine of 797M Euros. However, investors are hoping the sentiment towards US companies and stocks will change with the release of Walmart’s quarterly earnings report this morning and NVIDIA’s tomorrow evening. Of the SNP’s 500 components, Walmart is the 21st most influential stock, while NVIDIA is the most influential holding a weight of 7.03%. If both reports are better than expectations, the SNP500 may outperform both the NASDAQ and Dow Jones. Walmart has beat their earnings expectations over the past 3 quarters. Investors are expecting a slightly lower revenue and earnings per share this quarter. However, if higher than expected, the stock is likely to rise further. Investors are anticipating the earnings to beat expectations, hence why the stock is trading 1.61% higher during this morning’s pre-trading hours. So far this year, the stock has risen 59%.
