The order types you are using are all server side, so you do not need to worry about your local copy of Sierra Chart. Once you enter the trade, the orders will be dealt with by the exchange regardless of the state of your computer. The CBOE Indices exchange is $6.00 per month. The information you are referencing is if you were to change the option for the "Number of Systems" to be 2 computers instead of 1. Since your current exchange fees are $12.50, it is telling you that you will be charged an additional $12.50 as soon as you change the option to 2 computers. This is not relevant to what you are dealing with. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

We are not able to reproduce what you are seeing. When we use your chartbook and enter an order the charts stay responsive as they were. Given what you state, it sounds like there may be another circular reference occurring since you copied the 20 tick chart, and everything was fine once you removed the 5 Minute chart. Therefore our recommendation is to create a new 5 minute chart from scratch and then see if you have the same issue. If not, then there was something about that previous 5 minute chart that was causing the problem.

Did you rebuild that 5 minute chart or copy it? You need to not copy it and build it from scratch, otherwise whatever is causing the problem will persist.

Hi John, I have a few questions. 1. Is it better for perfromance to do the actual study on a single chart and overlay it on multiple charts? 2. I am trying to come up with a way to always trade the same $ risked per trade...Is it possible to take the difference from 1 tic above the the high of the bar minus the current bid ? if so then i could take a static amount of money i want to risk/((the difference from 1 tic above the high - the current bid)* $ value per tic)...and then opposite for a long entry... Currenlty what i have done is a spreadsheet study including the high low and last of the bar and did a math formula to tell me if i hit the bid/lifted the offer how many contracts would be need to keep a constant $ amount risked....I then plotted the info for the number of contracts to buy on at the top of the bar if i were to left the offer and plotted the info for the number of contracts to sell if i were to hit the bid...please see the attached picture....is this the best way to do this without writing code??? 3. And lastly do spreadsheet studies have a performance impact on SC? As always I really appreacviate your help. Mike Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-09-29 23:30:49

1. It depends on the study and what exactly you want to accomplish. For most studies you would be better off just adding the study to each chart. Although most of the calculation intensive studies do not allow you to overlay them (such as Volume by Price and TPO). 2. What you have done, or at least the concept (you could do this with multiple studies as well), is the only way to do this. There is not a built-in method. 3. Everything has an impact, but Spreadsheet Studies do have a bit more overhead than others. You just have to create what you need and see if it is giving you a problem. There are a lot of interdependencies, especially your computer power, so it's not possible to give any specifics.

Since you are actually using this on a Daily chart, you need to set the following Inputs on the "Daily OHLC" study: - Use This Intraday Chart: No - Daily Chart Number: Number of this chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi John, How can I tell if I have live nymex pricing??? |
| [2024-10-10 18:29:28] |
| John - SC Support - Posts: 36203 |
|
In general, to see if you have live or delayed data, add the "Data Delay" option to the Chart Header and see what the amount of the delay is for that chart. Refer to the following: Working With Charts: Region Data Line / Chart Header To see if you have the NYMEX exchange active, along with other information on the options you have active for your Sierra Chart account, go to the following link: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=RecurringServices We can tell you that you do not have the NYMEX exchange active with our Denali Exchange Data feed. You only have the CME exchange for the CME Group active. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thanks John, Couple of question, I am curious is there a way to have a stop move only after price moves away a certain amount....so for example lets say I put a trade on and i have a 3 point stop...once price goes in my favor 8 points i want to move my stop to breakeven...is there a way to do this? In addition, I generally set my targets at 3 times the risk taken....is there a way to set the targets to move when the stop is adjusted....so for example when i initially enter a trade my stop is fixed at three points and the first 2 targets are set at +9 and the 3rd is set at +12...but there are times that my risk should only be 2 pts my targets get adjusted based on moving the stop....so for example I enter a long ...the original stop is -3 points, 1st target is +9 and the 2nd target is +12....I immediatley move my stop to a -2.5 risk is there a way/setting to have my 1st target automatically move to +7.5 and the second target move to +10?

Yes, refer to the information on Move to Breakeven for Stops at the following link: Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop In addition, I generally set my targets at 3 times the risk taken....is there a way to set the targets to move when the stop is adjusted....so for example when i initially enter a trade my stop is fixed at three points and the first 2 targets are set at +9 and the 3rd is set at +12...but there are times that my risk should only be 2 pts my targets get adjusted based on moving the stop....so for example I enter a long ...the original stop is -3 points, 1st target is +9 and the 2nd target is +12....I immediatley move my stop to a -2.5 risk is there a way/setting to have my 1st target automatically move to +7.5 and the second target move to +10?
This could be done, but it is going to get a bit complicated, and we can't work it all out for you. You would have to do the following: - Add a Spreadsheet System for Trading to your chart. You are not going to use this for trading, but it contains information in column J that you will need. - Add a "Trade Management by Study" study to the chart. You will use this to reference where to move the Target(s) to. You will need one copy for each target you want to control. - In the Spreadsheet System for Trading, do not use Columns K, L, M, or N - these are special for order entry. In column O, you will enter the condition that you want in order to control one of the targets. Set this up so that when the condition is met, the result will be the price level at which you want the Target to move to. Note that since, you have the "Position Average Price" located in cell J9 (with Spreadsheet Columns I and J set to version 1). So you can reference from that price if that is what is best for you. For example, you could enter the following condition in Cell O3: = IF(AND(ID0.SG4@$3 - $J$9 > 2, $P$3 = 0), $J$9 + 4, 0) and the following in cell P3: = IF(ID0.SG4@$3 - $J$9 > 2, 1, 0) where ID0.SG4@$3 is the current price, $J$9 is the Position Average Price cell. Cell P3 is to ensure that the Target only moves once, otherwise the target would constantly move and would never be hit. This checks if the current price is more than 2 points above the Position Average Price and also that the target has not already moved, and if so, then returns a value of the Position Average Price + 4. - You then setup the Trade Management by Study to reference the subgraph for Column O and the specific OCO Target you want to move. The above is the sketch of what to do. We do not have the time to work it all out for you. Like we said, it can be done, but it's complicated. You could also do this in a Custom Study.

hey john i am working on the target control information as discussed above....I am looking do to the following Target = (average entry - stop order price)*3 so for me the formula in column O would be as follows =(($J$9)- Stop order price)*3) Is the stop loss order a field in the spreadsheet system for trading? |

There is not an entry in the Spreadsheet System for Trading that has the Stop price. And unfortunately, there is not a way to get this from the built-in studies. You could create a relatively simply study to get the Stop price and then use it, but if you are going to go there, we would recommend taking care of all your orders through that study rather than dealing with the other studies.

Your Market Depth Historical Graph is only showing a few specific levels. The rest are getting lost somehow. The best thing to do is to turn on the display of the values in the Market Depth Historical Graph, so you can see the actual values. Then you would need to adjust your Minimums and Maximums to get the kind of information you are looking for. Due to the complexity of the Market Depth Historical Graph, and the sensitivity with different symbols and their market depth, it is next to impossible for us to give you any kind of formula that will specifically work. You need to understand how each item affects what you are seeing. For what it is worth, all of the information for how the Market Depth Historical Graph functions is at the following link: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=375#Market_Depth_Historical_Graph In particular, you may want to review this section: Market Depth Historical Graph: Block Coloring Logic For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I forgot the passworrd on an old chart is there a way to get into it without the password?

In general, the answer is no. If you do not know the password, then there is not a way to recover it. We are curious though, are you referring to a particular study?
