[Pt] TICK Supertrend Strategy, 5 minBackground:
It is well known that the indices such as SPY and QQQ follow/represent market sentiment. The TICK index literally represents the market sentiment as it compares the number of stocks that are rising and falling on the NYSE. By default, the TICK index is a short term indicator. Therefore it isn't reliable for swing trading or long term strategies. However, it is perfect for scalping.
Although TICK is well known, many does not know how to use it effectively. As part of the background mechanism of this script, I’ve divided TICK into 5 major zones based on the close of each candle: Overbought (neutral with bearish bias), Bullish, Neutral, Bearish, and Oversold (neutral with bullish bias). Along with the use of Heikin Ashi technique, RSI, moving averages and candle analysis, this strategy aims to provide accurate representation of market sentiment and profitable entry and exit points. *** At the time of publication, this strategy has proved to be consistently profitable. HOWEVER, this DOES NOT guarantee future profitability. So use at your own risk! ***
What is it showing?
This strategy is an intraday scalping strategy that uses TICK data to predict market directions for optimal entry and exit points. It is displayed similarly to the famous Supertrend indicator, which is one of the most common ATR based trailing stop indicators, so visually it is easy to read. This strategy is suitable for trading indices such as SPX , SPY , SPX500USD , QQQ , DJI and any other tickers that have high positive correlation with TICK.
Script is proprietary, but as mentioned it incorporates the following elements with additional candlestick analysis, pattern recognition, stop-loss and profit taking strategy:
- NYSE TICK data
- Heikin Ashi candle technique
- ATR
- RSI
- Moving Averages
Bullish trend is determined by a confluence of said indicators and analyses, and is displayed as a green line under the price action. The distance is defined by an adjustable value that is based on a percentage of the previous daily ATR value. When a long order is in play, that line also acts as the stop-loss level. Bearish trend is the opposite and is displayed in red, by default.
What's unique?
Detecting a ranging market structure and avoiding overtrading in a choppy market has always proven to be difficult, even for the most professional traders. This strategy has built-in “choppiness” and volatility filtering scripts that attempts to help reduce the number of false entries. These elements are what makes this strategy unique and different from other indictors mashup strategies.
In addition, this strategy takes previous trades into account and “learn” from past trades when determining the optimal stop-loss level to maximize profitability. This allows this strategy to better adapts to changing and evolving market conditions.

TICK Scalping strategy, SPY 1 min1 min chart scalping version of my other TICK strategy with adjusted parameters and additional entry and exit conditions better suited for 1 min SPY chart. Please refer to my original TICK strategy for explanation.
Important notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping on the 1 min chart . All profit shown in back testing report is based on Profit/Loss (P/L) estimates from trading options with approximately 6 weeks of data. By default, it is set to 10 option contracts. By default the initial capital is set to $5000. Pyramiding is set to 3.
2. This strategy works better with non-extended market data .
3. This strategy is mainly developed for SPY trading on 1 min chart, it probably will not be very profitable with other tickers or time frame without tweaking all the parameters first.
Cheers and enjoy~! Let's all make money~!!
TICK strategy for SPY optionsImportant notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping.

4. This strategy will work with QQQ as well, but please adjust the profit multiplier to match the P/L of QQQ options.
How it works:
When trading the indices, many rely on the TICK for market directions. This strategy is a trend following strategy that uses a combination of conditions using the following indicators:
- TICK
- RSI
- VIX volatility index
- EMA
For entries, the conditions are:
1. TICK moving average crossover with a delayed signal line
2. Bullish or bearish RSI signal, RSI > 50 for bullish, < 50 for bearish
3. VIX must be above a certain threshold to take advantage of high market volatility
4. Price must be on top of EMA line for long, and below for short
For exits, there are 3 scenarios:
1. Stop loss set by a percentage of the daily ATR value
2. Trend changes on the TICK and the RSI
3. Bearish or bullish divergence on price with TICK
This strategy automatically signal to close all trades at 3:50 pm EST at the end of the day.
Extras:
- There is an option to show P/L for reinvesting profits

Cross impro test by Canundo Crossover Crossunder Tick valuesThis is a script where I tried to check the following things:
Even thought the tick of an asset is, for example 0.5, there are calculated prices, like SMA's that have even more decimals. Leading to crosses happening that for example happen at the same price. Consequently triggering totally useless in side markets. What happens if SMA values are restricted to the tick resolution? (Option works on it's own or with a combination of the others.)
What happens if I set my own tick value, like 0.8 instead of 0.5, what will be the effect for calculated values that are used for crossings? Will tick sizes improve the success rate? (This option will work only when the first option is active.)
Can success rate, especially for sideway markets be improved when adding a spread between MA's, so that it triggers less in sideway markets? (Option works on it's own or with a combination of the others.)
First of all, I had a hard time to round prices properly when it needs to be dynamic and working for different assets with different amounts of decimal values in the tick. The solution is that abs(floor(syminfo.mintick)) will give you the amount of decimals a tick has. It works for all ticks that are at least lower than 10. I'm not sure how huge ticks are out there. I did not implement this solution at the end since I found another way to test it.
Findings:
The first option, when activated, takes out half the trades and raises the percent profitability by 8% so there is some effect. However, all of the tested options have less advantage than I hoped for but are nevertheless something worthy for sideway markets. The first option just forces the MA's from the example to use the tick resolution.
See these two images. One when the first option is off, the second when it's active.
The lines are the MA's with adjusted values, the crosses are the places of the MA's when left as is.
Here a screenshot of the third option set to the value 2 on the 1 minute XBTUSD chart.
The advantage is that less trades trigger that have a low change in price and so less trading fees will happen.
The disadvantage is that all options can implement some delay for a crossing since the crossing will trigger once a slightly bigger move into the direction was taken.
This test environment was not meant to be profitable but to test the effects.
Maybe someone finds it interesting or wanted to test the same, so here you can save some work.
