TICK Alerting that indicate institutional Buy/Sell ProgramsIn this video I discuss the ticker "TICK" which is a value indicative of the volume of buy and sell programs running through the NYSE. Usually these are great indicators of when institutional wants to push through resistance and support. Ive also seen them used to set the tone for the day in the morning, and also help close where institutional wants at close. In this video we discuss the theory and how to set up alerts to help us be knowledgeable which way the big boys are bumping the pinball machine and can use it to our advantage.

🤖 SELLING PROGRAMS ARE RUNNINGTicks have sustained for the last 45 mis in the -1000 level which is a sign of caution. ↘️ Generally, when we see sustained selling like this it is algos running in the background. 🙅‍♀️The Fed did not raise rates today - it could have happened but it was unlikely. They did walk back their talk a bit, saying a rate hike would "soon be appropriate" which is a ways of saying they will continue to evaluate the sitaution. All of this should be short term bullish for stocks, ideally into the end of the month. I'll give this a little time to see if there is anything else that makes sense to add here. I want to keep exposure modest. I am 90% cash and 10% in positions with very tight stops. Do not break rules when volatility expands! ⚠️

Just how bad was the selloff today? Check out TICK.TICK indicator. I use this intraday usually to give me an up-to-the-second sentiment indicator. It shows the stocks trading on an uptick vs a downtick. This chart is just to put today's intraday reversal sell-off into perspective. I had to use the 15m bars to scale out far enough to find the last time the TICK 20 period moving average for 15m increments dropped as low as it did today. Had to go all the way back to Nov 10th. It was THAT BAD. I dimmed out the TICK itself to nearly invisible just for clarity, and left the black line moving average as reference. The good news? Well.... if there is any, it's that there tends to be a reversal upward after these extreme TICK bombs, as I call them. I overlayed SPX in orange and used the rectangles to show such instances where the TICK bombed, the result it had on SPX, and what happened afterward. Today reminded me of a short squeeze, but in reverse? A long squeeze? Is that even a thing? I still prefer my "TICK bomb". Sounds more badass.

TICK - NYSE 1 HourA complete disaster all day for the US ECONOMY aka the Equity Complex. There are far too many depressing comments in Traders Forums everywhere one looks - claims of suicide, anxiety, severe depression... Sad, very sad when people lose hope and it's hinged to a bunch of Criminal Enterprises. Unsure when the lesson is learned but apparently the apathetic cheerleading has turned to Pom Poms being lit on fire and hatred spewed without any remorse. It is, on balance, misdirected as the FED and its handlers are entirely responsible for creating another Chase with easy Credit and Ballooning the Supply of Idiocy. F_cking amazing how the Party... it never ends until it's too late for Pickle Juice to soothe the Hangovers. ______________________________________________ Swings attempted not to spook, that didn't work as the Front Run of the ES and NQ's Price Objectives for the 2/5 RT Fell very short today. NQ didn't quite make it back to 16170, the Sell prior to falling 600+ cumulative points. ______________________________________________ A very Weak RT at best. We'll see where they close it, there is certainly ZERO reason to attempt to Buy the Dip. Far too much Risk as "Crashes" occur from Oversold Conditions and we have those in spades. ________________________________________________ If 3/5 is indeed beginning, look for another 1200 Ticks to be removed from NQ. The FED's Policy error is in Full Effect. Phones will be busy inside the Beltway this weekend. The "safety" Bid remains Bonds as TLT finally broke it's prior High to confirm, we are setting up a larger Sell there as the next round of Prop $ beings to take shape behind the scenes in DC. What will they cook up this time... We'll know the Bottom is in when the FED and DC begin to phish for even more M@ expansion at an even greater rate of change. We're aways from there, by a long shot... patience there as this Sell can run for a while longer, we estimated 2 to 3 weeks once it began - it may take a breather, and go again, but it's clear the overall Trend and momentum are completely Intact. The Clouds supported this and we would need to see Price make and attempt to return to the Trend CLouds which will be Charted this weekend and updated so Trades know Where Price could return. Commentaries will be updated tomorrow after 12 PM EST. ________________________________________________________ There is far more pain ahead. ________________________________________________________ Have a great weekend everyone, we're checking out for an early weekend.

NYSE TICK for Reversal this Week / Entry Timing RT's Timing Entry fro RTs USE this indicator for entries into a Retracement Potential intra-Day. We will see a retracement this week, it is all but assured. Pricer can head lower First, but we use the Time's Indicated for Reversals. A low Tick of the Day between 930 -10 AM EST is usually a good sign Price will retrace up. This should be on every Traders Micro Chart, it's been a while since we've mentioned it. Fro Reversals it's extremely reliable.

TICK Smoking Gun - Hard Support starting Beginning MarchIf you are not familiar TICK is a powerful indicator showing program buying. It shows the up tick vs down tick of the entire S&P market.. Notice it fired up beginning of March and it simply did not stop! Shortly thereafter it stopped SPY from selling any more past $240 with a hard support nailed in. Clearly the market will try again, and will fail at the $240. Do NOT try to short this market against the whale that is buying everything in sight.

Fading $SPX w/ NYSE TICKHow I used NYSE TICK today w/ extremes ~ -1.000: In correction steep DT after news hit the wires 17:36 CET that US is weighing to limit US investors' portfolio flows into China, a move that would have repercussions for billions of dollars in investments pegged to the major indices; also they're apparently pondering delisting of Chinese companies from US stock exchanges (Bloomberg). DJI dives 200 pts in 3 mins; Alibaba plunges 6%, JD.com 5.3%, Baidu 3% (CNBC). Please check the M1 chart for how TICK dived to -1.000 at 17:36 CET, but corrected right next M1, while $SPX was still falling as perfect example for finding the right long entry point.

EMBRACE THE TICK-- SCALPING EXHAUSTION IN /ESWhen I recently mentioned that I largely didn't use a chart when scalping /ES, I got a bunch of queer looks out of people. "I just use TICK," I explain. "You know, TICK?" (NYSE Cumulative TICK). More puzzled looks. There's a lengthy Investopedia definition of the thing, so I won't bore you with those details; I'll just explain how I use it. (Note: I use the 1 min. TICK chart, but have posted the 15 min. here). I generally look to fade extreme TICK counts of +1000 (long) or -1000 (short). These fades are usually good for four-eight ticks at the least and can sometimes run for several handles. Fading that -1282 opening bell tick (which happened to be the low of the day), could have resulted in your potentially capturing a 20 point move to the upside; fading the +1173 tick (HOD) could have netted you between 8-10 points to the down ... . (Frankly, if I get 6 points out of the session, that's generally it for me, so a 10 point plus day would be pretty nice ... .) 2) Watch price action around the "0" line. Is it being beaten down every time it penetrates to the upside of "0"?; consider shorts on meaningful thrusts above the "0"; vice versa for longs. I generally don't like doing these "0" line rejection trades because where you enter on a brief thrust above/below the "0" line is somewhat subjective. That's when actually glancing at the /ES 5 min. chart might be helpful so that you can get a sense of whether it's making higher highs, higher lows, coming up against support/resistance, session hi/lo, etc. However, I tend to do these a lot in the last hour of the session when there is a good deal of jockeying/whipsaw/choppiness going on of which I can take advantage ... . Unfortunately, TICK is of limited usefulness since it is an NYSE ticker. In other words, you won't be able to use it for much beyond /NQ and /ES and the like; I use it exclusively to scalp /ES and nothing else ... . Taste the rainbow. Embrace the TICK.

TICK & VIX vs SPYThe tick index measures the very short term health of the markets by taking the difference between the number of stocks on an uptick and the number of stocks on a downtick. The Tick index sums up this difference for all stocks in the New York Stock Exchange. The goal of the VIX is to estimate the implied volatility of the S&P 500 index over the next 30 days. Since the Financial Crisis of 2008-09, it has been associated as a lagging indicator, and serves you better to invest inverse of VIX extremes. When VIX is at or near all-time lows (10 to 15 / descending lows) it is a good time to bet that the markets will turn negative. When the VIX is at or near all-time highs (40 to 50 / ascending highs) it is a good idea to bet the market will recover. Measuring the TICK and VIX vs. SPY is another way to guage where the market is headed. As I point out in this chart; the TICK and VIX are giving market participants positive readings. However, with an exception of the previous low volume holiday week (Thanksgiving) and a two day relief rally before US elections, the market has been in a dowtrend -- A downtrend with the VIX near all-time lows -- This can only mean one thing, the S&P (or SPY) has a LOT of room to go further down. Tick Tock Tick Tock... Waiting for this bomb to explode. Possibly early 2013 -- Feb-Mar
