The Tick Oscillators are a suite of 5 indicators that hone in on various market internals known as the 'Ticks'.
The ticks are market internal measure of short-term market sentiment by displaying the number of stocks trading on an uptick minus the number on a downtick.
The 5 indicators in the suite are:
ST Tick Indicator - the main TICK that John watches throughout the day
ST Tick Indicator - SP500 - a proprietary ThinkorSwim symbol that shows the ticks specific to JUST the S&P 500
ST Tick Indicator - NDX - the ticks specific to the NASDAQ (NQ)
ST TICK Indicator - MAG7 - a proprietary measurement of the ticks related specifically to the MAG 7 stocks - AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META,MSFT, NVDA, TSLA
ST Tick LABEL - this is a custom label showing the tick numbers with colors to show up or down overall
The default settings on each indicator (detailed below) are what John uses on his charts. These are the settings he tested for the best overall performance. You can modify the values as it suits your trading plan and style.
The Tick Oscillators are supported on ThinkorSwim and Tradingview.
PLEASE NOTE: The ST Tick Indicator - SP500 is NOT supported on Tradingview or any platform other than ThinkorSwim. It is a proprietary symbol created by ThinkorSwim only and no other platform has that.
