What Is The “Closing Tick?
The “closing tick” shows the trend of the market at a given time; for instance, at the closing bell. If the tick were at +147 at the closing bell, it would indicate that 147 more stocks ended the day at a higher price from their last previous trade than those ending at the lower price. If it were the other way around, the tick would be a -147. As examples, an extremely strong upward trend would be a +800; a -800 would denote a nasty selloff.
