Classic Chart Indicators and Studies Find descriptions, formulas, parameters, and other help for the indicators and studies used by the Barchart.com Classic Charting application below. When charting any of the studies, the argument coloring is red, green then blue. For example, on a Moving Average chart [9, 18, 40], the 9 day would be the red line, 18 day would be the green line and the 40 day would be the blue line. The argument order is displayed on the chart next to the study name. NYSE TickThe NYSE tick is commonly used as a short-term trading indicator. The NYSE tick represents the number of stocks ticking up minus the number of stocks ticking down on the NYSE. If the Tick reads +500, for example, then there are 500 more stocks on the NYSE ticking up than there are ticking down. Conversely if the Tick should read -500, this means 500 more stocks are ticking down than are ticking up. Barchart.com calculates the TICK value inside our real-time ticker plant once a minute. Unchanged ticks are not, only ticks that are greater than or less than the previous tick are used within the calculation. The Barchart.com symbol for the NYSE TICK is X1Y0. Sample Chart:   TOP
