var: TickRatio(0);

TickRatio=Upticks/Ticks;

Plot1(TickRatio, "Tick Ratio");
Plot2(0.5, "Center Line");

If TickRatio > 0.5 and TickRatio > TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, Darkgreen) else if TickRatio < 0.5 and TickRatio < TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, Darkred) else if
TickRatio > TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, green) else SetPlotColor[1](1, Red);

I've been using this indicator and really like it. It often shows buying or selling bias before the price move. And when it goes to an extreme, the peak or bottom is often very close. The close is rarely at an extreme, but the ratio often goes to an extreme, indicating that there is either a commitment to either buying or selling, or the buying or selling is maxing out, and you are at the extreme.

 

var: TickRatio(0), FinalPriceHiChg(0);

TickRatio=(Upticks/Ticks)-0.5;

Plot1(TickRatio, "Tick Ratio");
Plot2(0, "Center Line");
Plot3(0.3, "OverBght");
Plot4(-0.3, "OverSold");

If TickRatio > 0 and TickRatio > TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, Darkgreen) else if TickRatio < 0 and TickRatio < TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, Darkred) else if
TickRatio > TickRatio[1] then SetPlotColor[1](1, green) else SetPlotColor[1](1, Red);

Hello

 

I understand that this is an old post...

 

I have designed a code to display the momentum of the Upticks Downstick, but I'm not shure how to interpret the result.

 

I did try your code for the upTicks Ratio and it look more clean than mine.

 

Would you mind to share few idea on how you "read" your TickRatio. What are you looking for, etc.
