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. |

The first mistake is using, this fake AI. There is no such thing as AI. It does not exist. The whole thing is nothing but propaganda. All of this information is 100% false. You cannot use a fractional length.
