If I am am charting this week for example, where does the "open" come from? When I exported to a spreadsheet (about 800k entries), it seems the "open" came from the first bar of the E-mini S&P500 back in 2011 (continuous contract). Yes, it is the very first bar in the chart. Does this mean, if I am graphing 2021 (continuous contract), SC does 10 years of back calculations to get the first bar value and then simply carries this value forward for ever?
Not exactly, it just computes each bar based on the previous bar's values. And yes, the initial calculation is done starting at the very first bar in the chart. This is really not a difficult thing for the computer to do. The calculations are all provided in the documentation here: Heikin-Ashi For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
