    Can anyone help me think about how to do some Excel testing?

    If you haven't used those two functions before, they can be a little perplexing. So... assuming I understand (?) your needs correctly, this is how I would do it. The formula goes in the yellow cell. That block of cells can be moved -- as a group -- anywhere on the sheet, but the group must...

    Sierra Chart through Sierra Chart vs. AMP??

    If you plan on using Sierra Chart, along with SC's Denali data feed, as I recall, this is the way I had to do it: Log in to your funded AMP account and setup your "Platform" and "Live Trading" preferences. For SC and Denali, in the "Which Datafeed?" section, you will need to select "Sierra...

    I don't use range bars, but here is an ES range-bar chart in SC (2 point range). Not sure if it helps, but...

    Excel order entry template?

    As I understand it, Sierra Chart supports trading from Excel. Haven't used it, so can't answer any questions, but maybe this will help: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/OverviewOfSpreadsheetStudies.php

    Praise to AMP they deserve it.

    lol... I remember that... back in '95 (as I recall). No micros and no e-mini. Don't remember what it cost to trade, but do remember having to call in my trade to Chicago... and Signal (no eSignal at that time) and taping that FM antenna up on my patio door to get quotes. :) I had never traded...

    Application Denied by AMP for no reason

    And once they turn you down, you might as well move on because they won't change their mind.

    AMP and Teton

    I have no issues, and really no complaints, routing through CQG, but if Teton performs at least as well as CQG, it would be nice to save that $0.20 r/t routing fee per contract.

    AMP and Teton

    From what I understand, no... it's an SC thing: SC + Denali + Teton

    AMP and Teton

    @AMP_Global Can you tell us why you aren't supporting Sierra Chart's Teton order routing yet? Teton was launched over a year ago, other futures brokers are supporting it, and it appears to be stable. From what I understand, SC doesn't charge routing fees, so you would be saving us money by...

    Option expiration term and IV change risk

    Be very careful of options advice coming from "noobs" wearing "experienced" clothing. One of those two guys is a noob... and it's not @MrMuppet :)

    How to get overnight index future price alerts?

    I don't use TD Ameritrade for index futures, but I do get real-time index futures data (I didn't request or pay for this). You can setup price alerts in the desktop app and be notified by SMS, but not sure if the desktop app has to be open for the alert to be triggered. From what I understand...

    Options: Calculating the 1 Sigma Expected Range for SPX

    Getting data from TOS. In the back of my mind, I was thinking 0DTE might be too short term to get *reasonably* realistic results, especially as the trading day progresses. Still not sure of the answer. And, in my spreadsheet, I'm actually using time remaining, as opposed to days. But that...

    Options: Calculating the 1 Sigma Expected Range for SPX

    Yeah, it got a little confusing. The entire exercise was probably invalid, but the only data I had was from Friday's close. Will revisit this when SPX options start trading again this evening. :)

    Options: Calculating the 1 Sigma Expected Range for SPX

    I took a look at that, but I'm still pretty new to this options game and that looked a bit over my head. :(
