Hi,
It is well documented that I am stupid re SC, but I have tried and tried, and this is so far beyond me. I also have TT which as you know is the big brother to your order routing. To create an autospreader is dead easy w TT, and once the tower(dom) is created you can make a chart. We all know TT charts are crap so I want to make this chart on SC so I can add studies etc, but I simply cannot do it. Find attached the shot of the inside of the algo, and how to do things like ADD input to a multiple, then subtract out a number. this is the formula in simple terms

{1 sept ES + (2000 x sept vix)} - 391000 I am also sending shots of ladder and what the chart looks like on TT. How do I get a chart like this on SC?

thank you for your help, Karen

Custom Calculated Symbols: Instructions

I believe this would be the spread u would enter. ({ESU20}+2000*{VIU20})-391000

Hi.
I did exactly as I was told and I thought it was going to work, but when I called up the chart the window won't load. I know it's goofy but it's from my nephew and he's pretty genius. Here is screen shot. thank you so much

let me know if u have these settings checked.

If it didn't work, then the symbol notation for your data is not matching.

ok I can't get it to work. Forget that. How do I make a simple calendar spread of the sept vix future - oct vix future. I went into global settings, went to new symbol and entered vxu2-vxq20 No dice. How can it be so difficult to make a simple spread. I know I am stupid but...Help please

User849502 - we would like to see what issue you are having in case there is something happening within Sierra Chart, we want to make sure that we get it fixed. But if it turns out that it is simply User Error, then we would need to charge you for the advanced support, although we will do so at half our usual cost, so it would be $0.40 per minute.

Let us know if this is acceptable to you and when would be a good time for us to contact you.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
