  • $TICK data on tick charts - inconsistent loading

    I have written a simple indicator for use on stock index futures charts. This indicator places an up or down arrow when the NYSE $TICK value exceeds certain high and low levels. In this way, the trader can be alerted to when the $TICK goes to extreme levels without having to take their eyes off their primary chart. A copy of this indicator is attached.

    What's weird is that this indicator works fine on most charts, even 2 minute charts. However, when I try to place it on a tick chart (like a 233-tick chart), many times the indicator fails to load ... it just says "Loading Data ..." However, this doesn't happen all of the time - just most of the time. There have been times when it's loaded completely.

    Does anyone know why this happens and what can be done to have the indicator load completely?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I think $TICK is not available on tick charts because it's value is calculated only every 6 seconds or so...
