topsteptrader combine for Oraclewizard77

Quote from oraclewizard77:

Thanks,

I am reading their documentation. Assuming I get the chart up, does it have a chart trade button and can I set my stop loss and target parameters?

Yea, in "Trade" menu check "Chart Trade Mode On" and choose "Open Trade Window for Chart". All parameters like attached orders and similar stuff can be tuned from there.

Myself I trade from CTS DOM though and use SC just for charting. CTS DOM is a great tool for the fastest order entry/modification IMO.

Ok, Got chart up and running, and was able to get correct candle bar and was able to select correct number of min. Chart is still black, I would like it to be white. Not sure if I will be able to make a trade today or not still working on setup.

Global Settings -> Graphics Settings should help you. :)
 
Oracle, you need to spend some serious time on the simulator prior to going live on the combine. It sounds like you havent' a clue yet-- don't waste your "live" days learning how to use the platform---- why not use what you are use to using? I would avoid the obscure products such as Sierra etc--- Use what you have been using unless markets are just fantasy to you. surf
 
SC documentation is very comprehensive and I've never had the patience to look through it for what I want.

Fastest way for me is to use Google, my query for example "sierra charts change chart colour" gives me a link to the exact page as well as any related stuff on the support forum.
 
Ok,

Changed background and made some trades. Called them. They did not receive trades.

Unchecked trade simulator mode under Trade menu. Made more trades. Called them back, they received trades. I am up 5 ticks for the day.

Only issue now is how to set an order bracket so I can do 1 trade with 2 - 3 targets and have stop move up. May not be able to make any more live trades for the day.

I am using Ninja Trader to read the chart and placing orders into Sierra Charts.

This should assist you in changing the background color I believe

Sent Cornix a PM asking how in the DOM to set multiple targets and have stop move up to BE for some orders.

Hopefully, on Tue I will have everything setup correctly to trade more and earlier.

While it does seem like he's in a bit of a hurry to pull the trigger, Sierra Charts is hardly an "obscure" product. Assuming of course you've been around the markets more than just a few months.

I have been involved with the markets since 1990-- I have never heard of Sierra Charts ====other than on this site--- looks like some kind of low end competitor to free qoute tracker? open source stuff maybe??

Regardless, why wouldn't the guy use his own platform for charting? Why switch to something he doesnt' know anything about?
