Overview:
The TICK Extreme Zones Indicator Overlay is designed to gauge the overall market trend using the TICK index. By determining the number of bullish (values above 0) and bearish (values below 0) TICK closes within a user-specified lookback period, it provides an insight into the prevailing market sentiment. This insight can be beneficial for traders looking to identify potential entry or exit points based on the market's strength or weakness.
Key Features:
Lookback Period: This is a user-defined time frame in minutes. The indicator counts the number of bullish and bearish TICK closes within this period.
Market Trend Label: Based on the TICK values, the indicator determines if the market is:
Uptrending: Majority of TICK values are positive.
Downtrending: Majority are negative.
Neutral/Rangebound: Equal positive and negative closes.
Zones: These represent certain threshold levels in the TICK values.
Positive Zones:
Dark Blue: 1000
Light Blue: 800 & 600
Negative Zones:
Red: -1000
Yellow: -800 & -600
Touch Detection Method: Detects intraday touches and can be toggled on/off based on the user's preference.
Usage Guidelines:
Trending Market:
In a trending market, the TICK index can remain consistently above or below zero.
For a market moving upwards, it's advisable to consider entering a trade when the indicator returns to zero instead of waiting for it to return to -1000.
Using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) can provide additional confirmation of the trend.
Rangebound Market:
For sideways markets, consider initiating a long position when the TICK index goes below -1000 and exit the position when the index reaches +1000.
It's beneficial to pair these readings with significant support and resistance levels to make more informed trading decisions.
Divergence:
Divergence between the TICK index and price can be a good measure of the underlying market strength.
If a stock's price is making lower lows, but the TICK index is making higher lows, it might indicate weakening selling momentum.
Notes:
- Always use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
- Proper risk management practices are crucial when using any trading tool or strategy.
