FWIW I tend to define them a little differently to many. S&R to me are the edge of prior swings that are likely to be important. So M5 swings that are also M15 swings interest me on HSI. Also daily edges, vpocs, and the final vwap reading of an overnight session. Supply and Demand though is...

MAE == Maximum Adverse Excursion as opposed to Maximum Favourable Excursion. So they are nice records of how far price moved from your entry to combine with you exit price when considering your trading action. I was talking to another guy whos traded HSI for while now and discovered I've just...

I have a love hate relationship with mas so I only have them on a daily chart which I don't trade from. There, 50 and 200 period smas are watched by a lot of people. When I have used them in intraday, 20 or 21 period emas seem to be watched by a lot of people. Price crossing and...

+1 for "put up if you're not just seeking suckers."

Last time I used a timer with SC I just printed it on the chart although I used to love those ones. Re meeting, Sorry, just saw the message.

Yes. I wrote a lot of code requested by users to fill holes in SC's capability.

So, I got some advice from the MotiveWave team (thanks guys) and I've learned enough Java to program my own paintbars, range functions and underlays. On Linux its ram use reflect the Java base but it's cpu utilisation is only 30-40% of SierraChart + Wine so that's a win for the atmosphere. My...

Central Gold Coast. Primarily trade HSI futures but also some fx pairs using H4/M15.

Thanks MW. A friend alerted me to that and I'm going to explore it when I get a break.

Thanks for the suggestions folk. I like the SC platform (as I was an early adopter (version 37 IIRC and wrote tens of thousands of lines of code, which I gave away in open dlls) but have become increasingly concerned about aspects of their operation. I'm going to take a look at alternatives...

Thanks for the discussion. I particularly enjoyed Grantx's communications analysis and will be looking to see what I'd need to do to leave Sierra Chart at the end of my current term.

If you're a Sierra user, perhaps using IB or AMP like me, then you might be up for a 38% price rise next month (I just use package 3 as I'm a simple PA trader). https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=72331 If that isn't something you want, maybe you should let Anthony know.

Don't search for the magical best. Take a look at them all and decide which would suit your style and timetable. To me, Nikkei is as slow as a wet week. I prefer HSI but HHI, Kospi, Nikkei, STW, Nifty or something else might suit you better. Most have minis for your initial experiments...
