    What's the deal with Sierra Chart these days?

    I was wondering how a migration to their data feed would work with order routing to AMP since CQG currently handles the order flow (at least with my account, don't know if that is default).

    What's the deal with Sierra Chart these days?

    Yes salt water fly fishing. Interested in hearing about how well the SC-provided data feed compares to the CQG data feed.

    What's the deal with Sierra Chart these days?

    Moved my futs account over to AMP and SC, from NT. I am using the CQG datafeed from AMP and having zero problems. I was dismayed about the 26/mo charge when it was supposed to be free thru AMP. But then I just considered what I had been thru with NT and that decision to go back to Sierra, and...

    Does anyone change their moving average period based on volatility?

    Sierra has a tick countdown. I think most trading apps have time and tick counters.

    Why do moving averages SUCK so much?

    Trade example. Pullbacks. Simple. Thinking price could test overnight lows @ 3834. Sell two, take one off first target, let the other one work for second objective.

    Why do moving averages SUCK so much?

    Had to go to my ToS charts for stock, my Sierra is only futs. I am a scalper, and have not traded any stock options for many moons but here is what I see, and I do not have a "system". I am purely discretionary and a scalper. MSTR has dumped app 50% of its value in 3 weeks. Clearly a blow-off...

    Probability Vector?

    OK that's cool. The intent was to discuss probability of having to take the loss based on where the entry is taken. And the effect of entry positioning relative to R-value; so these are valid considerations at least for me when structuring risk placement vs position sizing because those voodoo...

    Does anyone change their moving average period based on volatility?

    If I look at a moving average, it is a 50 wma. I typically do not use any indicators. I do change time frames or more accurately tick counts, based on how volatile the price movement is. For low to regular vol, 500 tick, extreme vol could be 5000 or 10k tick.

    Probability Vector?

    Gorgeous setup on the 1m chart as well. Beautiful continuation pause also.

    Probability Vector?

    Uploaded as a file link from my hard drive, may be a little better? I have used white background for my charts (Sierra) but the black background seems to be a little easier on my eyes for the long days I spend looking at charts. Hopefully the last 500t chart posted will be a little more legible...

    Probability Vector?

    I have to load the charts from my hard drive to my smugmug so I have a url to post from. Does not seem to let me just post a jpg or gif from my hard drive unfortunately.

    Probability Vector?

    Same day, 500t chart to more clearly show the congestion area in discussion. Off the last swing high of the day.

    Probability Vector?

    Argument: that risk is more adequately controlled by working test against back end of bars, rather than working violation of front end of bars on entry. Specifics: On the last swing of the day, here on MNQ, there is a 1-2-3 pattern off the top test against previous swing. Highs of the #3 point...

    Do you post what you would say face to face?

    Sadly muricans en masse seem to have bot into this virus hoax and the agenda behind it. No more need be said since this is a trading forum, like it to stay that way, but the observation is sadly right on the mark. What a travesty.

    Why do moving averages SUCK so much?

    OK if you need hand-holding, I like to wait for a highest high then subsequent pullback to enter either on a test of a lowest low bar back end or a violation of a lowest low high (front end) bar, the opposite for a short entry in the current short-term trend direction. Reverse of this for short...

    Why do moving averages SUCK so much?

    Basically trained myself to look for and recognize trading ranges and congestions and study how price moves away from these areas, since these are the linear (mostly) areas on the charts that tend to pay me to trade there. So looking for momentum moving away from congestion. This does not imply...

    Do you post what you would say face to face?

    Yes. Absolutely. I hate peeps who hide behind that keyboard. Disengenuous and despicable to not shoot straight and treat others the way you would like to be treated.

    He's warning everyone again about the collapse, but NO ONE IS LISTENING!

    Not bear not bull. Opportunist. Tides will turn at the point interest rates compete favorably with risk-adjusted return on equities exposure. Fed WANTS inflation, damn sure been working on it. Debt is mathematically unable to be paid back now. So when? Prolly when the criminal banking cabal is...

    Why do moving averages SUCK so much?

    I think traders spend way too much time trying to interpret indicators, which are just PA derivatives after all. Within the context of any given chart, i start by defining ranges and longer bar chart price bars (no open and close shown) overlap regions. Noise differentiation basically implies...
