Are all price patterns the same? (examples)

Quote from IronFist:

How are you using $TICK? I tested it extensively and found no useful price relation.

Quote from horton:

When the Dow TICKS print -25 and the NYSE TICKS don't go down much and the ADD barely notices, this is informative.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

For example observe that the Dow TICK printed +25 one minute AFTER better than expected housing data and the NYSE TICK only printed +400 in response as the SPX printed 1650. This was informative.

I am short the TF with BE stance now on that rather than the ES but at this point I will probably get stopped out unless AAPL really falls out of bed because the $SOX is on fire.

If the $SOX calms down then I expect SPX 1645 before 1000 CT.

 

Same thing again at third attempt for SPX 1650. I was stopped out, reversed for Failed Offer, scratched, reversed for Held Offer (edit) again and now I am at BE on TF again for SPX 1645.

 

Unfortunately I will not get SPX 1645 if I can't get $SOX 466 Failed Bid.

 

And at this point SPX 1650 Touched strongly implies SPX 1655.

 

Reversed

 

Now long TF at BE stance for SPX 1655.

 

That's ES 1552 Touched.

 

Scaling out

 

Final exit.

 

This is chopping wood and carrying water, Bar by Bar.
