Tick
Refers to the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down. Related: Point.

Tick
On an exchange, a trade in which a security was traded after another trade. There are three basic types of tick. A plus tick occurs when the price is higher than the previous trade. A minus tick occurs when the price is lower, and finally a zero tick happens when the price is the same. Ticks are recorded and published in real time throughout a trading day. Certain regulations govern the types of trade that can occur after certain kinds of ticks. See also: Zero-plus Tick, Zero-minus Tick.

TICK
A short-term technical indicator that describes the difference between the number of stocks whose last sale occurred on an uptick and the number of stocks whose last sale occurred on a downtick. A high positive TICK is generally considered a short-term signal of a strong market. Contrarians consider a high positive TICK to have bearish implications.

tick
A movement in the price or price quotation of a security or contract. See also downtick, minimum tick, uptick.

Tick. A tick is the minimum movement by which the price of a security, option, or index changes.

With stocks, a tick may be little as one cent. With US Treasury securities, the smallest increment is 1/32 of a point, or 31.25 cents.

An uptick represents an increase over the last different price, and a downtick a drop from the last different price.

What Does Tick Mean?

The minimum price movement—up or down—of a security.

Investopedia explains Tick

Historically, stocks traded in minimum increments of 1/16. Now they trade in decimals. A stock would move in amounts of 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32 of a dollar (the tick). This changed when the decimal system was brought in. Now they trade in fractions of pennies.

During the early years of the program, almost all of the ticks submitted were American dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis).
Possible strategies such as the collection of ticks, specifically the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (a known vector for tularemia), from animals upon entry into urban animal shelters and mapping of areas where the animals were found need to be considered if resources are limited.
Health officials had presumed that the fever spreads exclusively through American dog ticks and Rocky Mountain wood ticks--species that typically feed on wild rodents and other small mammals, including dogs.
