TICK is very tricksy!

$VOLD is the Esignal symbol for Advance Issues Volume minus Decline Isses Volume. I believe it to be a much better indication of "bias" than TICK, or the simple A/D line. This chart demonstrates how TICK and VOLD "interact". Obviously they are not correlated, but one can see that a whole lotta TICK (in this case a move from 1000 to -92) didn't put much of a dent into the VOLD, indicating that simple re-distribution is going on, rather than a prelude to a flood. Here is the comparable 1m ES chart for reference only (I do not use a 1m chart in my trading).

At last, over the rim
of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
