TIKI Indicator

The TIKI is just like the TICK indicator on the NYSE but only measures the Dow 30 stocks. Extreme readings (26-30) are indicative of buy/sell programs hitting the market. A reading of 30 indicates all 30 Dow stocks are on an uptick. The indicator flags all readings of 26, 28, and 30 (+/-) with blue, yellow, and magenta triangles respectively. Read more on the TIKI and its use in John Carter’s Mastering the Trade.
