Trading With The Nyse Tick

Posted: Mar 10, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 230 |

One of the least used, and most useful indicators for trading the e mini contract is the NYSE tick. It is among my favorite and most accurate indicators in my trading arsenal. Yet many traders still trade with oscillators that lag the price action and are often less than accurate. The NYSE tick is one of the most versatile and useful indicators a trader can use.

So why don't more traders use the NYSE tick?

I think one important reason the NYSE tick is often ignored is because it is not derived directly from the data supplied by the futures markets. No, information on the tick comes directly from the New York Stock Exchange. In my opinion, this makes this indicator extremely valuable. Instead of using exponentially weighted oscillator data, you will have a window into what is exactly transpiring on the New York Stock Exchange. Often times, the NYSE tick is well ahead of the action on the e mini contracts.

Why?

Obviously there is a noticeable lag between what occurs on the New York Stock Exchange and the time it takes futures traders to interpret that data and incorporate it into futures market price data. In my opinion, this makes the NYSE tick all the more valuable. It's like having a window into what the market is doing; only the data from the NYSE tick is unfiltered by algorithms and weighted exponential averages. Quite simply, it's pure data from the stock exchange. Of course, this can cause problems for some people because the data may indicate moves occurring on the New York Stock Exchange that may not necessarily materialize on the futures exchanges. To be sure, a trader must trade the NYSE tick with a well defined set of rules and make sure those rules are followed closely and with diligence. It has also been my experience that NYSE tick data is often misinterpreted and misapplied.

    It is not unusual to hear individuals ask about trading the "high probability" gap trades. It seems that there is a perception (by some traders) that e-mini gap trading falls into the sure-fire trade class of trades. Note: I have yet to locate a sure-fire trade in several decades of trading.

    I've been writing some about trend lines lately and noted my observation, in several of the articles, of the declining use of this valuable charting tool. I don't have any illusions that a couple of articles by a relatively unknown author will have any effect on the use of these lines; but if just a couple of traders see the value of trending lines and e-mini trading, then I suppose I have done my job.

    I like trading indicators that help me understand e-mini trading in real time. I can think of no better real time trading experience than watching price action move toward a known area of support/resistance (SAR) and evaluating what the possible outcomes may be when price collides with support lines or resistance lines.

    Given a choice of just one e-mini trading indicator/chart pattern I would select, hands down, support and resistance. In my little world of trading, support and resistance (SAR) reign supreme.

    Trend breakouts and breakout volume share two important factors (among a list of other important variables) in shaping the likelihood of a successful trend breakout or breakdown. For obvious reasons, volume in a specific direction is a key ingredient in a successful trade.
