NYSE Tick

The 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.
