What we are working on now is that if the bid/ask is above/below the last trade price (bid > last trade or ask < last trade), and if so count that as an up/down tick. The bid/ask then becomes the new last price for the next calculation. Trades are still used as before (above/below last price).

The change provides a TICK with generally the same shape, but the extremes are more extreme.

The question is, is this more "accurate". That is up for debate.
