Tick Cumulative Sum

Purpose: Measures the net buying or selling pressure throughout the trading day.

How It Works: Each bar’s $TICK value is added to a running total, resetting at the session open. The resulting cumulative sum is plotted as a bold, color-coded histogram—offering a clear visual of whether bullish or bearish sentiment is dominating.

Ideal For: Traders who want to confirm the strength behind price moves and identify momentum shifts early.

Tick Distribution

Purpose: Provides a visual breakdown of positive vs. negative $TICK closes.

How It Works: The study marks each bar with either an upward green triangle (positive close) or a downward red triangle (negative close), helping traders quickly assess the balance of buying vs. selling pressure throughout the session.

Ideal For: Intraday traders who want fast, visual confirmation of sentiment trends.
