you got the right idea ...
just like the adv/dec data - which has most of its
value washed since the resolution of the prices
has increased as it is pretty damn easy to get the
lower 30% of spx and ndx components to go up (or down)
1/64 or 1/256 :)
the tick index is just one of the last ones from
the broad mkt statistics that will go down forever.
one interested fact about tick is that about 2-3 years
ago when someone started to heavily advertise on the
usefulness of the ticks, trin, etc. in real time -
the big firms started to swing to support the change
to higher resolution in price increments, which they
used to object heavily :)
that confirms the old saying, if you've got something
working, keep it to yourself.
expect tick to get really noisy as more and more
people are told to "beat" the mkt by using this
"proven" trick of placing orders at "odd-levels" :)
