Can anyone make these indicators possible for Sierra Charts? I am in need of these for some testing and don't want to drop the 1500 if they are not worth it...I have very limited programming experience so I would just need the downloads..Thanks

Welcome to the forum. If you put Sierra Chart in the title of the thread, it may be more helpful.

Sierra uses a C++ scripting language similar to Esignal, although I am not sure if it is as popular. Apparently, Surftrader has done a Squeeze worksheet study in SS:

TTM Squeeze Formula help - Sierra Chart

I programmed it for Sierra a while back and found it virtually worthless for short-term trading -- 

It was simply a matter of calculating a Histogram of Bollinger-Bands retreating inside a Keltner Channel and plotting the ratio when the BBs were outside the KLs -- 

Here is the SS worksheet formula: 

SS Column Value 

AS= Boll-Band Top 
AU= Boll-Band Bottom 
BF= Keltner Top 
BG= Keltner Bottom 

=IF( (AS3-BF3)+(BG3-AU3)>0,(AS3-BF3)+(BG3-AU3),0 )

They locked the forum to nonsubscribers. That is actually one of the few benefits of TS, the collective wisdom of close to 10 years of programmatic and strategic trading experience from those who are willing to share. You could probably share a TS account with a trusted friend or family member just to get to the TS forum. And yes, they do lock threads and censor/delete posts and threads and you can be banned from that forum; they also know the TS account number of every poster.

For anyone new to trading considering using this indicator please be aware of the following.

 

Like any trading method , notice should always be taken of the higher time frames. I notice that John Carter advises that many squeezes are not taken if

they conflict with a higher time frame. Also even if a squeeze fires off,

he will wait for a pull back to a ema. Even then if intraday trades are being

taken he will look at market internals such as Tick, Trin Readings and even

pit noise sometimes. Oh and he might also look for a TTM Trend change!

 

I will not get involved in a flame war regarding TTM and JC and their indicators

but just wanted to advise any newbies that JC does advise not taking every

squeeze signal regardless. Unfortunately there is no holy grail in trading, or at

least not one in the public domain!

Why not just simply trading out of the breakout of NR7 ( Narrowest Range of last 7 bars) ?

Don't have esignal, and unfortunately, I'm not a coder, so can't confirm the coding. I'm looking at how to do this in Sierra. There's one over there, but it's a bit different. If it helps anyone, in non-coding english, the default color is blue, and it changes to red when a bar closes in the bottom 50% (previously, they'd sometimes said 25%) of the ATR of the previous 5 bars (at one point used 6). This is meant to give more of a "heads up" than the breakout would be, I think. The two ways they use it is 2 or 3 bars confirming a change in trend in order to exit a position. And a continuation trend trade, where they look for the prevailing color (trend), and after they get the opposite color, will enter on the second bar of the prevailing trend, indicating a confirmation of a resumption of the trend.

Okay, a clarification, fwiw. The current/last bar's color will be painted based on: if the average closing price of the previous 6 bars is in the lower 50% of the range, it paints the current bar red. If the average is in the upper 50%, it's blue. The current/most recent bar's close, on its own, does not affect the coloring, unless it changes the 6 bar average to more/less than the 50% of the range. At least not the way Carter does it; I've confirmed that with him. Now, Carter calls these modified HA, but I'm not sure if he's using traditional HA's to compute the numbers, and then coloring them, or if they're traditional bars/candlesticks that he uses for his computation, but then when he colors them he considers them akin to modified HA's. I'm almost certain it's the former.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
