Introduction The Cumulative TICK Session Tracker is an advanced indicator that combines real-time cumulative TICK data with clear session markers to provide a complete view of intraday sentiment and trading session transitions. It visually highlights bullish and bearish market trends while resetting at the start of each new trading day.
How It Works Cumulative TICK Calculation:
TICK values are accumulated bar-by-bar throughout the trading session. At the start of each new session, the cumulative TICK resets to zero for a clean daily view. Session Separators (EOD Lines):
Vertical dotted gray lines mark the start of each trading session (09:30 EST), making session transitions visually clear. Bar Coloring:
Blue Bars: Indicate rising cumulative TICK values (bullish sentiment). Red Bars: Indicate falling cumulative TICK values (bearish sentiment). Optional SMA (Simple Moving Average):
A white SMA line can be applied to smooth out cumulative TICK trends, helping traders identify the broader sentiment. Key Features Cumulative TICK Calculation:
