Cumulative Histogram TickThis script is designed to create a cumulative histogram based on tick data from a specific financial instrument. The histogram resets at the start of each trading session, which is defined by a fixed time.
Key Components:
Tick Data Retrieval:
The script fetches the closing tick values from the specified instrument using request.security("TICK.NY", timeframe.period, close). This line ensures that the script works with the tick data for each bar on the chart.
Session Start and End Detection:
Start Hour: The script checks if the current bar's time is 9:30 AM (hour == 9 and minute == 30). This is used to reset the cumulative value at the beginning of each trading session.
End Hour: It also checks if the current bar's time is 4:00 PM (hour == 16). However, this condition is used to prevent further accumulation after the session ends.
Cumulative Value Management:
Reset: When the start hour condition is met (startHour), the cumulative value (cumulative) is reset to zero. This ensures that each trading session starts with a clean slate.
Accumulation: For all bars that are not at the end hour (not endHour), the tick value is added to the cumulative total. This process continues until the end of the trading session.
Histogram Visualization:
The cumulative value is plotted as a histogram using plot.style_histogram. The color of the histogram changes based on whether the cumulative value is positive (green) or negative (red).
Usage
This script is useful for analyzing intraday market activity by visualizing the accumulation of tick data over a trading session. It helps traders identify trends or patterns within each session, which can be valuable for making informed trading decisions.

TICK+ [Pt]█ TICK+ – Advanced US Market Internals & TICK Distribution Tool
TICK+ is a comprehensive indicator that decodes US market internals by leveraging the TICK index—the net difference between stocks ticking up and those ticking down. Unlike many standard TICK tools that only plot raw values, TICK+ provides multiple visualization modes, dynamic moving averages, an independent MA Ribbon, a detailed distribution profile, divergence and pivot analysis, and real-time data tables. This integrated approach offers both visual and quantitative insights into intraday market breadth, trend sustainability, and potential reversals—making it an indispensable tool for trading US indices, futures, and blue‑chip stocks.
Market internals enthusiasts often consider the TICK index indispensable for trading these markets. By offering an immediate snapshot of sentiment and confirming trends through additional analytics, TICK+ gives traders a decisive edge—helping to determine whether a rally is truly supported by broad participation or if caution is warranted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
█ Key Features:
► Market Internal – Multiple Display Modes:
Line Mode: Plots the TICK index as a continuous line for a clear view of real‑time values and trend direction.
Bar Mode: Uses traditional bar charts to represent the TICK index, emphasizing the magnitude of changes.
Heikin Ashi Mode: Applies the Heikin Ashi technique to smooth out fluctuations, making the underlying trend easier to discern.
Iceberg TICK Mode: Fills the area between zero and the highs in green, and between zero and the lows in red—highlighting how long the market remains in positive versus negative territory.
How It Works & Usage:
These display modes enable traders to select the visualization that best fits their analysis style. For instance, Iceberg TICK Mode highlights the duration of market strength or weakness, a critical factor for intraday directional assessment.
Comparison of Display Modes
► Dual Moving Average – Fast & Slow:
Computes two moving averages on the TICK index:
• Fast MA – reacts quickly to recent changes.
• Slow MA – confirms the overall trend.
Crossovers provide clear signals:
• Fast MA crossing above the slow MA indicates rising bullish momentum.
• Fast MA crossing below the slow MA indicates increasing bearish pressure.
How It Works & Usage:
These dual moving averages assist in detecting momentum shifts. Crossover signals can be used to time entries and exits to align with prevailing market sentiment.
Dual MA Crossover Example
► Moving Average / Smoothed MA – Smoothed & Base Moving Averages:
Calculates a Base MA and a Smoothed MA on the TICK index to reduce short‑term volatility.
Helps clarify the prevailing trend, providing additional confirmation alongside the dual moving averages.
How It Works & Usage:
These averages filter out noise and offer extra validation of the current trend, enhancing the reliability of trading signals.
Base and Smoothed MA Example
► Moving Average Ribbon – MA Ribbon:
Independently plots several moving averages together as a “ribbon,” each line customizable in length and type.
Visually reflects overall market directional strength:
• Consistent green color indicate sustained bullish conditions.
• Uniform red color indicate prevailing bearish sentiment.
How It Works & Usage:
The MA Ribbon provides a layered perspective on market internals. It enables traders to quickly gauge the robustness of a trend or identify early signs of a potential reversal.
MA Ribbon Trend and Shading
► Divergence - Pivot based – Divergence & Pivot Analysis:

How It Works & Usage:
Divergence signals help refine trade entries and exits by indicating potential trend reversals or adjustments in market sentiment.
Divergence Analysis
► TICK Distribution Profile – TICK Distribution Profile:
Divides the TICK index range into multiple bins to create a profile of how TICK values are distributed.
Identifies the point of control—the level where most TICK readings concentrate—relative to zero.
Allows adjustment of the lookback period to detect shifts in market bias, such as a move from a neutral zone toward extreme levels.
How It Works & Usage:
By visualizing the distribution of TICK readings, traders can monitor changes in market internals that may precede significant trend changes.
TICK Distribution Profile
► ZigZag – ZigZag:
Applies a zigzag algorithm to filter out minor fluctuations and identify significant swing highs and lows.
Highlights trend extremities and potential reversal points.
Offers an optional extension to the last bar for dynamic trend tracking.
How It Works & Usage:
The ZigZag feature helps traders focus on the major price swings that define market structure, eliminating the noise of insignificant movements.
ZigZag Example
► Pivot Trendline – Pivot Trendline:
Draws trendlines connecting pivot highs and pivot lows.
Provides settings to display only the most recent trendline or extend the last trendline.
Assists in identifying evolving support and resistance levels.
How It Works & Usage:
Pivot trendlines offer clear visual cues for key price levels and potential reversal zones, aiding in the timing of trades.
Pivot Trendline Example

TICK Indikator
English:
The TICK Indicator measures in real time the number of up ticking stocks minus the number of down ticking stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It can display either the current TICK value ("Normal" mode) or the cumulative TICK values over the trading day ("Cumulative" mode). Positive values indicate market strength, while negative values signal weakness. Colored bars visualize momentum: green shades for rising, red for falling values. The zero line acts as a reference between buying and selling pressure.
Interpretation:
> +1000 and/or continuos lows above 0 → strong buying pressure
< -1000 and/or continuos highs below 0 → strong selling pressure
Around 0 → balanced market
Deutsch:
Der TICK Indikator misst in Echtzeit die Anzahl der Aktien, die an der New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) steigen, minus der Anzahl der fallenden Aktien. Der Indikator kann im "Normal"-Modus den aktuellen TICK-Wert anzeigen oder im "Cumulative"-Modus die kumulierten TICK-Werte über den Tag hinweg summieren. Positive Werte deuten auf eine allgemeine Markstärke hin, während negative Werte Schwäche signalisieren. Farbige Balken visualisieren die Dynamik: grüne Töne bei steigenden, rote bei fallenden Werten. Die Nullinie dient als Referenzpunkt zwischen Kauf- und Verkaufsdruck.
Interpretation:
> +1000 und/oder mehrere aufeinander folgende Tiefs über 0 → starker Kaufdruck

Tick CVD [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script "Tick CVD" employs live tick data to calculate CVD and volume delta! No tick chart required.
Features
Live price ticks are recorded
CVD calculated using live ticks
Delta calculated using live ticks
Tick-based HMA, WMA, EMA, or SMA for CVD and price
Key tick levels (S/R CVD & price) are recorded and displayed
Price/CVD displayable as candles or lines
Polylines are used - data visuals are not limited to 500 points.
Efficiency mode - remove all the bells and whistles to capitalize on efficiently calculated/displayed tick CVD and price
How it works
While historical tick-data isn't available to non-professional subscribers, live tick data is programmatically accessible. Consequently, this indicator records live tick data to calculate CVD, delta, and other metrics for the user!
Generally, Pine Scripts use the following rules to calculate volume/price-related metrics:
Bullish Volume: When the close price is greater than the open price.
Bearish Volume: When the close price is less than the open price.
This script, however, improves on that logic by utilizing live ticks. Instead of relying on time-series charts, it records up ticks as buying volume and down ticks as selling volume. This allows the script to create a more accurate CVD, delta, or price tick chart by tracking real-time buying and selling activity.
Price can tick fast; therefore, tick aggregation can occur. While tick aggregation isn't necessarily "incorrect", if you prefer speed and efficiency it's advised to enable "efficiency mode" in a fast market.
The image above highlights the tick CVD and price tick graph!
Green price tick graph = price is greater than its origin point (first script load)
Red price tick graph = price is less than its origin point
Blue tick CVD graph = CVD, over the calculation period, is greater than 0.
Red tick CVD graph = CVD is less than 0 over the calculation period.
The image above explains the right-oriented scales. The upper scale is for the price graph and the lower scale for the CVD graph.
The image above explains the circles superimposed on the scale lines for the price graph and the CVD graph.
The image above explains the "wavy" lines shown by the indicator. The wavy lines correspond to tick delta - whether the recorded tick was an uptick or down tick and whether buy volume or sell volume transpired.
The image above explains the blue/red boxes displayed by the indicator. The boxes offer an alternative visualization of tick delta, including the magnitude of buying/selling volume for the recorded tick.
Blue boxes = buying volume
Red boxes = selling volume
Bright blue = high buying volume (relative)
Bright red = high selling volume (relative)
Dim blue = low buying volume (relative)
Dim red = low selling volume (relative)
The numbers displayed in the box show the numbered tick and the volume delta recorded for the tick.
The image above further explains visuals for the CVD graph.
Dotted red lines indicate key CVD peaks, while dotted blue lines indicate key CVD bottoms.
The white dotted line reflects the CVD average of your choice: HMA, WMA, EMA, SMA.
The image above offers a similar explanation of visuals for the price graph.
The image above offers an alternative view for the indicator!
The image above shows the indicator when efficiency mode is enabled. When trading a fast market, enabling efficiency mode is advised - the script will perform quicker.
Of course, thank you to @RicardoSantos for his awesome library I use in almost every script :D
Thank you for checking this out!
NYSE TickThe NYSE Tick indicator is a market breadth indicator used to determine short-term bullish or bearish market sentiment. The NYSE Tick index compares the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange that are ticking up to the number of stocks ticking down at a specific moment in time. When the NYSE Tick is hovering around the zero line, roughly the same number of stocks are ticking up as are ticking down. When the overall market is rising it will usually present on the NYSE Tick as a rise in value that will generally stay mostly above the zero line for a period of time. The opposite is true when the general market is falling and can be seen as the NYSE Tick staying mostly below the zero line. This information can be very helpful for a short-term day trader who trades a market that also follows many of these same stocks, like the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures (ES), for example. While the index can theoretically rise or fall to over ±2,000 if all stocks on the NYSE are ticking up or down at the same time, it’s generally considered an extreme movement if the NYSE Tick is ±1,000. For this reason, the indicator has default reference lines at ±1,000 and halfway marks at ±500. In order to partially smooth out the movement and make movement trends more easily read, the indicator plots the values using Heikin Ashi candles instead of the standard bars or candlesticks. The price-line value displayed is an accurate live value, however, rather than the OHLC average value of a standard Heikin Ashi candle. Since the standard hours for the NYSE are Monday – Friday, 09:30 – 16:00 EST, the indicator only plots bars during this time.
Custom Time Frame (CTF)This indicator allows users to create their own arbitrary time frames for chart analysis. It features a moving average, providing an additional layer of analysis, and offers flexibility through various open settings.
In terms of user settings and usage, the indicator provides several options. Users can choose their interval style, opting for either tick-based or time-based intervals. This flexibility allows for a more granular approach to data analysis, catering to different trading strategies and preferences. The number of ticks or the amount of time for each candle can be adjusted, enabling traders to set the granularity of the data to their liking. Color settings are also customizable, with options for setting colors for bullish and bearish indicators, adding a visual dimension to the analysis.
The average line parameters are an important aspect of this indicator. Users can adjust the length, ripple, type, color, and line width of the average line. The ripple setting, in particular, impacts the smoothness of the filter. With type II setting, the smoothing is increased, making it suitable for traders who prefer a more smoothed out moving average. Conversely, the type I setting decreases the smoothing, which might be preferred by those who want a more responsive indicator.
The use of the Chebyshev filter is a significant feature of this indicator. This filter is chosen for its high-performance smoothing capabilities with minimal data requirements. This ensures that the moving average appears quickly and accurately, which is crucial in real-time chart analysis. An important point to note is that when the moving average is enabled, it decreases the maximum number of candles that can be displayed on the chart. However, this is offset by the enhanced analytical precision provided by the moving average.
In summary, this indicator is especially beneficial for traders without access to premium accounts. It offers the capability to create low or custom time frame charts. The flexibility in settings, coupled with the inclusion of a Chebyshev filter for the moving average, makes it a versatile and valuable tool for detailed market analysis. It caters to a wide range of trading styles and strategies, making it a useful addition to any trader's toolkit.
Tick Volume Direction IndicatorTick Volume Direction Indicator
This indicator captures:
• tick volume
• tick direction
The settings are as follows:
• volume or base currency value selection.
• label distance (away from the low of the candle).
• Tick volume - on/off switch for tick volume.
• label size.
• Up tick move color.
• tick move absorbed - when the tick doesn't change position.
• Down tick move.
On the first initial load, it will have the existing volume data as "?" as tradingview doesn't have a history of each tick.
Be aware, any settings change you make will refresh the tick data from start.
This indicator is one of the best real-time ways of seeing buying and selling pressure.
Market Internals Candles AIOThis indicator provides top down review of all major market internals for NYSE (currently).
ADD - stocks price advancing or declining against prior days range
VOLD - stocks volume in advancing or declining
TRIN - momentum in the market, somewhat of a "macd" for the broad market
TICK - miniscule price fluctuations by tick measurements, up ticks vs down ticks
Each internal has been converted to a % based format in order to have them all on the same scale, otherwise this indicator couldn't exist and be useful.
Customization allows for toggling metrics information that displays ratio data, can also add % measurement in when not using price scale values.
User can also enjoy simplicity of adding built in SMAs and adjusting lengths for individual internals.
Color management is built in also, with transparency support and toggling internals off will automatically hide SMAs and metrics data.
Usage of the internals is nuanced but in general a trend assessment could be derived from this display for credit selling or directional bias, my other indicator MIT would be better for scalping utilizing the TICK histogram.
When ADD and VOLD are reading over 50% that's a strong buy trend, -50% would be a strong selling trend.
Use TRIN to see when there's a potential for overbought or oversold given price and volume broad market readings, TRIN isn't to be trusted in isolation and other information should be considered.
TICK is most useful for fading in a balanced market, or joining a trend with a TICK pullback (buy negative %s when up trending, or sell positive %s when down trending).
I hope you find this comprehensive display useful in your trading journey and don't forget to check out some of my other market internals indicators.
Tick Weighted Average Price %BTick Weighted Average Price %B
"TiWAP %B" is an indicator that tracks the NYSE TICK by default and plots price location in relation to the tick weighted average price based only off of extreme TICK movement. NASDAQ TICK is also supported and future updates may add others if they provide value, or if requested.
This utilizes same calculation as TiWAP indicator already published, but removes the need to have it overlaying price to keep things tidy :)
What makes this different?
Quite simply there isn't another indicator that plots weighted average price based on TICK movement as done here, this is showing the correlation between the entire markets volatile price movement and the charted security. It provides a sense of established fair value given the entire NYSE/NASDAQ, given the automated nature of the markets there's a strong correlation between highly liquid ETFs/Indexes and the whole market.
How to use
As price is affected by NYSE the study will reveal location of price as it relates to TiWAP, use location to find reversals from rejections or bounces of standard deviations.
As price is affected by market volatility look to see the weighted price adjust to actual price and combine with other trading strategies to take advantage of the data. Rejections and bounces near standard deviations as well as the weighted average price line can provide excellent trade setups, or they could be utilized in advanced options strategies such as straddles, strangles, iron condors, etc.
Anchor points can be utilized to track how the market is adjusting broad value for the week, month, quarter, etc. The higher timeframe based anchor points will need higher periods for the chart or a max bars lookback error may occur.
Sensitivity should be adjusted as changes in TICK occur, this is commonly correlated with NYSE adjustments but the tooltip provides some guidance on value selection based on current conventional wisdom.
Show Target Level Relation
Turn on "Show Target Level Relation" to observe how current price is moving in relation to previous TiWAP range. For example if %B is configured for session, enabling this feature will reveal price rejecting and reclaim aspects of previous session %B range, works on any anchorage selected so long as resolution permits.
Fill %B As Cloud
By special request, this will render %B as a sentiment cloud which will aid in quick review of price to TiWAP relation being in buy side or sell side ranges, use this to easily spot exhaustion or continuation.
Markets
TICK tracks the entire market and as such whatever the entire market is doing will most likely apply to any individual security charted so give this a shot with anything you trade and let me know your results :)
Usage Conditions
Currently I'm finding the most success with this weighted average price on various intra-day timeframes, but anchored on weekly or higher and utilizing other timeframes may net some interesting swing trading opportunities.
Special thanks to MrChach for the original idea as well as discussions and debugging sessions :)
Candle Tick SizeHello everyone!
I dont think it exists, I couldnt find it any way I searched, maybe it is part of a bigger indicator. This is a really basic code, all it does, it shows the tick/pip size of the candles forming. You can adjust on how many candles should it show. Also because the code counts the point size of the candles from high to low, you can adjust that how many ticks are in one point, like for ES and NQ 4 ticks to a point, which is the basic setting. It helps me with entrys when I calculate the contract size so my risk/reward stays pretty much the same depending on the candle size for my entrys.
TICK Strength Background ShadeThis indicator shades the background of each candle based on the strength off the current TICK.US chart. User can define the strength levels, which are by default set to 1-299 (lightest), 300-599, and 600+ (darkest). Best used on lower timeframe charts to help identify whether or not to remain in a trend, or if a trend is possibly reversing when you start to see the opposite color begin to appear following a trend.
Cumulative TICK [Pt]Cumulative TICK Indicator, shown as the bottom indicator, is a robust tool designed to provide traders with insights into market trends using TICK data. This indicator visualizes the cumulative TICK trend in the form of colored columns on a separate chart below the main price chart.
Here's an overview of the key features of the Cumulative TICK Indicator:
1. Selectable TICK Source 🔄: The indicator allows users to choose from four different TICK data sources, namely USI:TICK , USI:TICKQ , USI:TICKI , and $USI:TICKA.
2. TICK Data Type Selection 🎚️: Users can select the type of TICK data to be used. The options include: Close, Open, hl2, ohlc4, hlc3.
3. Optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) 📊: The indicator offers an option to apply an SMA to the Cumulative TICK values, with a customizable length.
4. After-hour Background Color 🌙: The background color changes during after-hours to provide a clear distinction between regular and after-hour trading sessions.
🛠️ How it Works:
The Cumulative TICK Indicator uses TICK data accumulated during the regular market hours (9:30-16:00) as per the New York time zone. At the start of a new session or at the end of the regular session, this cumulative TICK value is reset.
The calculated Cumulative TICK is plotted in a column-style graph. If the SMA is applied, the SMA values are used for the column plots instead. The columns are colored green when the Cumulative TICK is positive and red when it is negative. The shades of green and red vary based on whether the Cumulative TICK is increasing or decreasing compared to the previous value.
This is a simple yet powerful tool to track market sentiment throughout the day using TICK data. Please note that this indicator is intended to be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. Always ensure you are managing risk appropriately and consulting various data sources to make informed trading decisions.
Cumulative TICK Trend[Pt]Cumulative TICK Trend indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that uses TICK data to define the market's cumulative trend. Trend is shown on ATR EMA bands, which is overlaid on the price chart. Cumulative TICK shown on the bottom pane is for reference only.
Main features of the Cumulative TICK Trend Indicator include:
Selectable TICK Source: You have the flexibility to choose your preferred TICK source from the following options, depending on the market you trade: USI:TICK, USI:TICKQ, USI:TICKI, and USI:TICKA.
TICK Data Type: Select the type of TICK data to use, options include: Close, Open, hl2, ohlc4, hlc3.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): You can choose to apply an SMA on the calculated Cumulative TICK values with a customizable length.
Average True Range (ATR) Bands: It provides the option to display ATR bands with adjustable settings. This includes the ATR period, EMA period, source for the ATR calculation, and the ATR multiplier for the upper band.
Trend Color Customization: You can customize the color of the bull and bear trends according to your preference.
Smooth Line Option: This setting allows you to smooth the ATR Bands with a customizable length.
How it Works:
This indicator accumulates TICK data during market hours (9:30-16:00) as per the New York time zone and resets at the start of a new session or the end of the regular session. This cumulative TICK value is then used to determine the trend.
The trend is defined as bullish if the SMA of cumulative TICK is equal to or greater than zero and bearish if it's less than zero. Additionally, this indicator plots the ATR bands, which can be used as volatility measures. The Upper ATR Band and Lower ATR Band can be made smoother using the SMA, according to the trader's preference.
The plot includes two parts for each trend: a stronger color (Red for bear, Green for bull) when the trend is ongoing, and a lighter color when the trend seems to be changing.
Remember, this tool is intended to be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. Always ensure you are managing risk appropriately and consulting various data sources to make informed trading decisions.
Tick Weighted Average PriceTick Weighted Average Price
"TiWAP" is an indicator that tracks the NYSE TICK by default and plots weighted average price on the charted security based only off of extreme TICK movement. NASDAQ TICK is also supported and future updates may add others if they provide value, or if requested.

How to use
Using this is similar to volume or time weighted average price, there is the average price line that is only adjusted when TICK movement breaches configured thresholds via sensitivity. Standard deviation bands are calculated and can be enabled up to 3rd deviation as per standard configuration, the further deviations being broken can serve as valuable signals for reversals.
As price is affected by market volatility look to see the weighted price adjust to actual price and combine with other trading strategies to take advantage of the data. Rejections and bounces near standard deviations as well as the weighted average price line can provide excellent trade setups, or they could be utilized in advanced options strategies such as straddles, strangles, iron condors, etc.

Currently I'm finding the most success with this weighted average price on various intra-day timeframes, but anchored on weekly or higher and utilizing other timeframes may net some interesting swing trading opportunities.
Tick LevelsTick Levels
This indicator is designed to be a companion to "MIT" .
It tracks the NYSE TICK by default and plots key levels on the charted security based off of extreme TICK movement. NASDAQ TICK is also supported and future updates may add others if they provide value, or if requested.
What makes this different?
Quite simply there isn't another indicator that plots levels based on TICK as done here, the signal and proximity sensing features added give context to which levels may provide the best entries, trims and exits for day traders.
How to use
Ensure adjustments are set for TICK, it changes over time but currently I've found the defaults to be best suited for me - your results may vary.
Watch price around the tick levels plotted on the chart to combine with other trading strategies. Use the proximity tolerance setting to ensure multiple TICK movements within the region as other movements are combined to lessen any possible noise, or disable this feature if each individual line is desired, though be warned extremely volatile days may produce noise.
Currently, the tick levels are reset on first new bar on regular sessions, but perhaps a future update will allow past sessions lines to stay with setting adjustment.
Diamonds above or below candles signify extreme highs and lows of TICK respectively, and triangles above or below candles signify extreme closures of TICK - if you're using this indicator in combination with "MIT" it may be redundant and you can disable the signals should you so choose.

Market Internal TrendMIT - Market Internal Trend
I've developed what I consider to be the best market internals, market breadth indicator on Trading View to date :)
Market internals (sometimes referred to as Market Breadth) are built-in indicators of the market, there are the following main indicators:
TICK - Uptick or downtick transaction of market (NYSE/NASDAQ)
ADD - Advancing or declining issues/stocks of the market
VOLD - Up volume or down volume of the issues/stocks of the market
TRIN - Trend of market based on ADD and VOLD
VIX - Volatility of the market
PCN - Options market puts vs calls
What makes this different?
This single compact indicator delivers an "eyes on glass" style presentation to detail extreme movements of TICK, sentiment analysis of ADD and VOLD as well as their trends and report when the market is most likely balanced or an in imbalance. No need to study multiple clouds and amassing a ton of different charts all with similar indicator setups and candle analysis in the heat of the moment.
Use this to determine the overall initial trend at open, watching for imbalance and extreme movement on TICK as a signal to prepare for potential trades. The metrics table is useful to see where potential rejections/bounces may occur on the volatility index.
Extreme tick closures (see below) can provide excellent trim or exit signals for existing trades depending on the market structure of the day (trending or ranging).
How To Use
The main histogram represents the highs and lows of TICK, anything within the +/- $500 region is most likely normal movement while anything outside of that will brighten in color and indicates potential larger reactions. Extreme highs and lows will be represented by white diamonds by default, closures are indicated by bright colored crosses at $0. Price levels should be noted on the securities being traded during TICK extreme movement, these usually act as dynamic support and resistance from my observations but your results may vary (please share in comments your experiences!).
There is a smoothed trend line over the histogram, by default it's white in color, and this represents simply a trend of TICK closures - when it's trending down the market should be following in kind and vice versa; adjust the smoothing length in settings to suit your trading style.
The center line will have colored dots, by default yellow for balanced markets or white for imbalanced markets. When the market is in an imbalance that's when trending moves have been observed and balanced markets are usually choppy with sideways price action not suitable for quick scalp type trading styles.
The upper colored band represents the market overall advancing or declining issues/stocks within the market, by default green tones are bullish for a advancing market and red tones represent bearish market - the brighter the tone the strong the sentiment. There are triangles at all times above this band and that represents a smoothed trend status as compared to the current amount of stocks in advance or decline, if the smoothed trend is above then it's potentially a signal of reversal (red triangles over green band would be bearish reversal and vice versa).
The lower colored band works the exact same as the upper band but it tracks the up and down volume of the issues/stocks within the market, it utilizes the same color and triangle logics as the upper band.
Markets
Currently this will present internals data for NYSE and NASDAQ, I'm still researching other markets internals and their particulars.
The signals on this indicator will best apply to SPY, QQQ, ES, NQ or highly liquid ETFs largely affected by NYSE or NASDAQ - individual stocks may have mixed results depending on how they're moving with major indexes so keep that in mind when watching for sympathy moves with the indicator.
Usage Conditions
All of the market internals are fantastic indicators when day trading, I've had great success on 1-15 minute and even higher for scalps or intra-day swings. Observing the middle dots will save those of you that struggle in choppy markets from being too aggressive when opportunities don't exist.
Use the triangles, diamonds, dots and crosses to your advantage to manage your scalps and intra-day swings, or gain an edge in preparation for entering trades!
I hope this indicator is a benefit to all for day trading, provide any feedback or feature requests in the comments.
Volume Tick ExperimentThis ticks-based indicator provides real-time volume information for a trading asset. Volume is analyzed and updated continuously, not just at candle close. It is based on DGT's Bull vs Bear Power indicator but adds a gas signal that activates when buying or selling volume percentage reaches a predetermined threshold.
This indicator can also help traders determine the direction and aggressiveness of pushes in buying or selling volume. By monitoring the volume percentages and gas signals, traders can get an idea of whether the market is pushing in a particular direction and how strong the push is. This information can be helpful in making trading decisions and identifying potential entry or exit points.
The indicator uses open, high, low, and close prices of the asset to calculate volume information. It determines the average volume over a selected period and calculates volume for both buying and selling. This information is used to calculate the percentage of buying and selling volume. A gas signal is triggered when either the buying or selling percentage reaches a predetermined threshold.
Enjoy!
Tick Profile HeatmapThis is a market internal TICK heatmap with the intent of displaying areas of price associated to stronger reactions with NYSE TICK (by default).
This code is based off of a variation of a Volume Profile coded originally by colejustice who originally used code from LuxAlgo . The full-width volume bars that colejustice setup were replaced with full-width bars representative of TICK breaking +/- $500, the current cumulative value representing the "heat" is comprised of hlc3 by default but that can be changed. In a future update I may add additional logic here to capture highs and lows in the heatmap specifically, and perhaps additional colors.
As with other traditional profiling studies, this indicators purpose is to visualize correspondence to specific price levels, allowing rapid assessment where the most TICK activity is occurring, and where it hasn't been. This information may provide areas of support and resistance and regions where price may move quickly repeatedly.
All of the same input guidance that colejustice provided is the same for those pre-existing inputs:
Inputs are set up such that you can customize the lookback period, number of rows, and width of rows for most major timeframes individually. Timeframes between those available will use the next lower timeframe settings (e.g., 2m chart will use the 1m settings.)
Zero usage of volume is present in this indicator, only TICK data so please don't confuse it with volume studies.
LNL Smart TICKLNL Smart TICK
This study is mostly beneficial for intraday traders. It is basically a user-friendly "colorful" representation of the $TICK chart with highlighted $TICK extremes. This indicator also includes: a simple trend gauge that can visualize the bias for the day, cumulative tick cloud which is showing the cumulative strength of either longs & shorts on the day.
$TICK Trend Gauge
Although it is just a exponential moving average. This average (default set on 20) works quite well as an overall gauge for the day. Whenever the gauge is green (above zero), any negative $TICK values below -500 can offer great pullback opportunities. Same applies for the red gauge. 20 EMA is below zero ? Great time to fade any +500 or +1000 tick readings. Obviously the gauge can be ajdusted to any number based on personal style.
$TICK Extremes (little triangles)
These little triangles are triggered anytime $TICK jumps above or below the pre-set values of +1000 or -1000. By just simply observing the $TICK triangles during the day can tell you how much volaility or pressure there is. Sometimes there will be 20 green triangles and only 2 red ones. That obviously mean there is a strong bearish pressure. But there will be days when you are not going to see any triangles at all which can mean there is either a low volatility or the price is stuck in the indecisive market.
Cumulative $TICK Cloud
Cumulative $TICK by itself is a great study for day traders. It is basically running "counting" $TICK that is adding the previous $TICK values from previous bars. Cumulative $TICK can create a direct picture of the current market sentiment. It is not just a simple green / red line but a cloud that can really show you the depth on the $TICK. Some days, the cloud will be quite wide which is a good sign for the strength to one side, but sometimes the cloud will be so narrow it will practically disappear. This would be telling you the exact opposite - not much conviction to any side. Of course the depth as well as the color of the cloud can change during the day.
$TICK & Cumulative $TICK Tables
By just looking at these tables. You can immidiately tell the state of the current $TICK. They both can be red or green. It all depends whether the values are positive or negative. The tables are just a little visual addition to the whole $TICK study.
Hope it helps.
Big 8 Intraday TICKAt the start of each trading day (0930 EST), this indicator calculates the intraday price difference between open and close for the eight largest market cap stocks (AAPL, AMZN, GOOGLE, META, MSFT, NFLX, NVDA, and TSLA), assigns a +/-1 for each, and then plots the cumulative change. An EMA has been added for smoothing purposes that is set to 5 but can be changed. Please note indicator is best used on lower timeframes (15 min or less) and has no applicability to time frames above 1 hour.
The thought behind this indicator is those eight major stocks drive a majority of intraday price change in indices like SPY and QQQ that are heavily weighted towards these stocks, therefore they should be a leading indicator in price change. You can often catch a move in SPY or QQQ one to two bars (on 1 min chart) ahead of the actual move because you see this indicator moving strong to one direction.
It's not perfect as there are divergences you will see when you compare historical charts, but oftentimes those divergences ultimately lead to significant price swings in the same direction as this indicator, so recommend being on watch to pull the trigger when you see those and price confirms.
You can use this indicator in a few ways:
1. Confirmation that your current trade is in the same direction as this indicator
2. Use the zero cross as a trigger for put or call entry
3. Focusing only on calls/longs if the value is above 0, or only puts/shorts if the value is below zero. Just be sure to keep an eye on reversals.
If you have recommendations on how to improve, let me know and I'll do my best to make changes.
TICK - Custom Tickers [Pt]Traditionally, the TICK index is a technical analysis indicator that shows the difference in the number of stocks that are trading on an uptick vs a downtick in a particular period of time. This indicator allows user to choose up to 40 tickers to calculate TICK.
By default, it uses the SPY Top 40 stocks, but can be changed to any tickers.
There are options to show:
- Top 7 , ie. can be used for just showing TICK for FAANGMT => $FB + $AMZN + $AAPL + $NFLX + $GOOG + $MSFT + $TSLA
- Top 10
- Top 20
- Top 30
- Top 40
Data can be displayed in candle bars, line, or both.
Enjoy~
