The tick, as an indicator, tells an investor what is happening in the market at a given moment. If a stock trades at a price higher than the previous trade, it is referred to as an up tick. If it is trading at a price lower than the previous price the term used is down tick. These terms are used to describe trades of individual stocks. These terms are used to describe trades of individual stocks. The trin, or short-term trading index, is a measure of buying and selling pressure. It compares advancing and declining stocks to advancing and declining volumes. A trin of less than 1.0 indicates buying pressure, and a trin exceeding 1.0 indicates selling pressure.
