Just need to confirm if Sierra allows for a decimal 0.5 value length? (Example: 10.5, 20.5) Google A.I. states the following: Yes, in Sierra Chart, you can set a moving average with a period of 0.5, allowing you to calculate a moving average based on half a bar's data; simply input "0.5" in the "Length" setting when adding a moving average indicator to your chart. Key points about setting a 0.5 moving average in Sierra Chart: Precision: Sierra Chart allows for decimal values in the moving average length setting, enabling you to use 0.5. Interpretation: A 0.5 moving average will be highly sensitive to price changes as it only uses data from the current and previous half-bar. Use cases: While not commonly used, this setting might be useful for very short-term scalping strategies where you need extreme price sensitivity. How to set a 0.5 moving average in Sierra Chart: Open your chart: Navigate to the desired chart in Sierra Chart. Add indicator: Go to the "Insert" menu and select "Technical Indicators". Choose "Moving Average": Select the type of moving average you want to use (Simple, Exponential, etc.). Set length to 0.5: In the indicator settings window, input "0.5" in the "Length" field. |
