Cumulative NYSE TICK

[mgarrett00]

Is it possible to plot this data as a line on the actual price window?

Such as this blog talks about doing "manually" in Excel? http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/...ment-with.html

Unfortunately, you can't get that effect you're looking for where you have two scaled y-axes, one to the left and one to the right of the price chart.

Visually, I think a histogram format for the Cumulative Tick under any symbol you choose would serve you just as well.

I wrote some code for you to play around with here:

1. ctick.efs is just a cumulative tick line plotted in a non-price panel.

2. ctickhist.efs is a histogram version of the same thing.

3. I included a pic of the ctickhist.efs off of the 1 min ES #F contract.

Now, you can plot the ctick.efs, click the left mouse button in that panel with the Shift Key held down too and then drag it to your price panel to merge the two but, imo, it's not nearly as nice as the Excel version.

[Or, you can go to Edit Studies and you'll see some arrow to merge the two studies]

Great! Thank you very much for this...

Using it now, and it looks great.
