In 2025 I turned $2,500 into $80,000 in prop firm payouts using extreme $NYSE $TICK readings.

In this thread I'm giving you the indicators I built for both ThinkOrSwim and TradingView, plus the video breakdown of how I use them.

(thread) So what are extreme $TICK readings?

The $NYSE TICK measures how many stocks are upticking vs downticking at any given moment.

When it hits +1,000 or -1,000, think of it like everyone running to one side of a boat. Just before it capsizes, people rush back to the other side.

"Every market cycle since 1880 has found that no bull market has ever started without a follow-through day." - IBD

I will use this thread to monitor for follow-through days.
Follow-through days typically occur anytime from Day 4 or later in the attempted rally.

This is day 1. Image Day 2 of the "Attempted Rally" in the books. Image
