Cumulative Tick Indicator for ThinkorSwim

Someone recently mentioned that the $TICK index can be used for trend confirmation. I just came across this post in the Yahoo thinkScript group so I thought I would share it here as well.

Accumulative $TICK Meter

Code: 
#Hint: The NYSE TICK represents, at any given moment, the net number of stocks in the broad market that are trading at their offer prices minus those trading at their bids. When the NYSE TICK becomes very positive, it means that traders are lifting offers in the broad market: buyers are quite aggressive. When the TICK becomes very negative, it means that traders are hitting bids in the broad market: sellers are very aggressive. \n The swings in the NYSE TICK during the day, then, represent relative swings in short-term trader sentiment. The beauty of the measure is that it is assessing what bulls and bears are actually doing in the marketplace; not what they report as their sentiment or what they try to fool others into believing. \n

#Hint: TICK and TRIN are two indicators that measure the general sentiment of the market. They can be used both to determine near term market movement. Theses indicators are not well know by traders. TRIN is a calculator, its formula is ((Advancing issues/declining issues) / (advancing volume/declining volume)), it's a contrarian indicator to detect overbought and oversold levels in the market.

#How to day trade with these indicators? TICK value between +200 and -300 indicate a neutral market sentiment. It became bullish when its value became higher than +200 and bearish when it is lower -300. Very bullish when its value is higher than +500 and very bearish when it is lower than -500. Note that when TICK is higher than +1000 or lower than -1000, then a reversal of the market will probably happen soon. Generally a rising TRIN is bearish and a falling TRIN is bullish.

I effing love these! I used the Smart Tick today. I switched it to declare upper and laid it over the top of my $TICK box. I went into setting, switched the candles to bars and turned down the opacity of the bars to about 25%. This is a global setting, that's why you have to switch it to bars. I use this a graph of the vix futures and a 1 min graph of the /es futures to give me a heads up in case there is a shift in the markets.
 
Looking for script that would plot different color horizontal lines at tick extremes of 1000, 1200 and 1400. Anybody have anything like this?
 
You don't need a script for that. All you have to do is draw price levels at those levels, format them or color-code them as you like and turn On the Left and Right extensions so that they stay on your TICK Chart.
 
@BenTen
I just recently posted this question https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...-chart-when-conditions-are-met-in-lower.9659/ and after looking at the indicator you mentioned above Accumulative $TICK Meter, they display very similar and it appears some of the inputs in the settings differ slightly.
Anyways, Can you take a look at the indicator/code mentioned in my post and let me know if you possibly can help accomplish what I'm looking for? If the arrows in the upper study could be added to the code Accumulative $TICK Meter from Post#2 above I suppose that would work also.

#Hint: TICK and TRIN are two indicators that measure the general sentiment of the market. They can be used both to determine near term market movement. Theses indicators are not well know by traders. TRIN is a calculator, its formula is ((Advancing issues/declining issues) / (advancing volume/declining volume)), it's a contrarian indicator to detect overbought and oversold levels in the market.

#How to day trade with these indicators? TICK value between +200 and -300 indicate a neutral market sentiment. It became bullish when its value became higher than +200 and bearish when it is lower -300. Very bullish when its value is higher than +500 and very bearish when it is lower than -500. Note that when TICK is higher than +1000 or lower than -1000, then a reversal of the market will probably happen soon. Generally a rising TRIN is bearish and a falling TRIN is bullish. A TRIN value higher than 1 is bearish while bullish when it is below 0.9

Click to expand...

this is an example of limiting a signal level.
also known as clipping in audio equipment, removing peaks.

to verify it is doing something, set it to a small number , like 50 , and notice all the horizontal lines on the top and bottom.

Code: 
# tick_limit_0

declare lower;

input tick_limit_level = 950;

def cls = close("$TICK");
def cls2 = if cls > tick_limit_level then tick_limit_level else if cls < -tick_limit_level then -tick_limit_level else cls;

plot z = cls2;
z.setdefaultcolor(color.cyan);

# draw lines above and below the plot, to scale the plot down just a little.
def percent = 20;
plot z1 =  tick_limit_level * (1 + (percent/100));
plot z2 =  -tick_limit_level * (1 + (percent/100));
z1.setdefaultcolor(color.black);

$TICK extreme readings for Market Sentiment - $PY/QQQ
Hi friends - As I was scouring the interwebs for a custom $tick lower study, I came across the following code from a YT vid I found last night. After looking over a bunch of charts.. the extreme $tick readings (-1000 / +1000) can coincide nicely with tops and bottoms on faster time frames intraday. - (More so for SPY QQQ and some of their respective top holdings, not sure on small/mid caps)
The one thing I would find extremely helpful is to be able to plot a signal of some sort on the upper price chart when the tick value hits 1000 and above, and -1000 and below, to filter out some of the noise.
I'd love any suggestions on how to expand and improve on this amazing study!

( I focus on trading $PY.. fast time frames... scalping commons and options)

Im happy to include the YT link on request.. i didn't want to spam any links, feel me??

Just wanted to follow up , I figured it out! Here's what i added to the bottom of the code that I provided:

input threshold=400;
input location=1000;
input price=close;


plot pabove=if hi >= 950 then location else double.nan;
pabove.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.TRIANGLES); pabove.setdefaultcolor(color.green);
pabove.setLineWeight(5);

plot pbelow=if lo <= -950 then -location else double.nan;
pbelow.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.TRIANGLES); pbelow.setdefaultcolor(color.red);
pbelow.setLineWeight(5);

Someone recently mentioned that the $TICK index can be used for trend confirmation. I just came across this post in the Yahoo thinkScript group so I thought I would share it here as well.

Accumulative $TICK Meter

Code: 
#Hint: The NYSE TICK represents, at any given moment, the net number of stocks in the broad market that are trading at their offer prices minus those trading at their bids. When the NYSE TICK becomes very positive, it means that traders are lifting offers in the broad market: buyers are quite aggressive. When the TICK becomes very negative, it means that traders are hitting bids in the broad market: sellers are very aggressive. \n The swings in the NYSE TICK during the day, then, represent relative swings in short-term trader sentiment. The beauty of the measure is that it is assessing what bulls and bears are actually doing in the marketplace; not what they report as their sentiment or what they try to fool others into believing. \n

#Hint: TICK and TRIN are two indicators that measure the general sentiment of the market. They can be used both to determine near term market movement. Theses indicators are not well know by traders. TRIN is a calculator, its formula is ((Advancing issues/declining issues) / (advancing volume/declining volume)), it's a contrarian indicator to detect overbought and oversold levels in the market.

#How to day trade with these indicators? TICK value between +200 and -300 indicate a neutral market sentiment. It became bullish when its value became higher than +200 and bearish when it is lower -300. Very bullish when its value is higher than +500 and very bearish when it is lower than -500. Note that when TICK is higher than +1000 or lower than -1000, then a reversal of the market will probably happen soon. Generally a rising TRIN is bearish and a falling TRIN is bullish. A TRIN value higher than 1 is bearish while bullish when it is below 0.9
