David:

My take is the ticki is generally too noisy, while in
strong trends it may not get to some arbitrary point
(say -20) and you miss the move. But hey, if someone
has a ticki system that beats the basic OB, or whatever,
please post the results.

Perhaps my comment "a complete waste of time" is too
harsh, but I think there are better places to look.
