What I am looking for is a similar reaction to the S&P500's short term price swings in relation to the TICK index. If there is a similar short term swing (10-20 minutes) in the EUR/USD pair. In the e-mini there is a very close reaction between the two where you will see the TICK index swing below 450 just prior to a sell off in the S&P500. If this does not provide a short term indicator, what other index might show the short term price swings of the pair?
