Barchart.com $TICX

[jjthetrader]

Hi there, my $TICX, the NYSE tick is not printing properly. It will not print a negative value. It only prints above zero. I called barchart and they said it was working correctly on their end and had a value of -200 and mine was just stuck at 0. Is there a way to correct this in the instrument manager?
Thanks

Hello jjthetrader,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please tell me what your mapping is for the ^TICK index.

You can find this by going to Tools --> Instrument Manager --> Search for TICK index --> Edit --> Misc tab.

Thank you!

I've got $TICX for my mapping

I've got $TICX for my mapping

I tested on my end and the $TICK data uses 10,000 as a base instead of 0. So you will see numbers between about 9,000 and 11,000.

barchart.com uses TICX as the net TICK with 0 a the base. That's what I can't get to print. Try mapping that and see what happens. $TICX.

I see the issue.

I will contact development and post back.

Thank you!

Can you please verify with BarChart that they do provide the negative values?

We have reports that the data sent by BarChart is not showing these values as discussed in this thread: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=9165

Please see post #32

$TICX = NYSE TICK unadjusted (Barchart.com)

I have reviewed all the posts I can find regarding the problem of getting Barchart.com data for the NYSE TICK to print both positive and negative values correctly.

Is there a way to to this? Please advise.

Thanks, BillM

BillM, might be best to check with them, I don't believe so since as far as I know it's not zero based data.

nyse tick with NT+barchart

Hello Bertrand,
I checked with Barchart prior to inquiring on the NT forum.
They have two versions of the NYSE TICK:
1. $TICK, with zero value adjusted to 10000
The $TICK plots all values in Ninja Trader, albeit artifically adjusted by +10000.
2. $TICX, unadjusted, displaying the value as intended, above and below the zero axis.
The $TICX does not print any value below zero in NinjaTrader.
As might be imagined, I would prefer to see the correct value at a glance, rather than constantly doing the mental arithmetic on the adjusted version.
I suggest a Ninja Trader programmer liase with a Barchart counterpart to fix the problem. Even better would be for NinjaTrader to program and make available a real-time calculation of the NYSE TICK, as well as the S&P 500 Index to circumvernt the clumsy data put forth by OPRA-CBOE-ADP.
Please let me know what can be done.
Thanks, BillM
