DOM: Auto Clear Recent Bid/Ask Volume

This study automatically clears the 'Recent Bid/Ask Volume' for the symbol of the chart at specified session times. Option to also include 'Current Traded Bid/Ask Volume' when auto clearing. Up to six individual sessions can be configured.

Fair Value Gap Study (FVG)

This study finds Fair Value Gaps for the given chart and draws based on configured parameters in the Study Settings.

Main features:

  • Independent settings for Up and Down Gaps
  • Extend until Gap filled
  • Minimum Gap size in ticks for FVG's
  • Minimum Gap size in ticks for FVG Subgraphs
  • Allow copying to other chart drawings
  • Enable/Disable FVG Up and Down gaps
  • Hide Gaps once filled
  • Specify maximum lookback for bars to process
  • Draw Midline
  • Subgraphs for FVG Count
  • Subgraphs for High and Low of FVG Up/Dn. Idea is to use these for trailing stops and/or targets with trade management study. The Subgraphs will shift based on open FVG's. Once FVG is closed the Subgraph will shift to the new one. Hard to explain so best thing is to set the drawstyle for all of the subgraphs to dash or line and see how it works. TEST ON SIM FIRST!!!
  • Option to use additional study data to determine if that candle that creates the FVG (middle candle) should be used or not. Example: You could have a formula check if volume meets a certain threshold and output non-zero value for true. If the threshold is met then draw FVG. Otherwise, ignore this candle and don't draw the FVG.

Forex Factory

This study downloads the weeks Forex Events from Forex Factory and displays them on your chart. IMPORTANT! "Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics" must be disabled for this study to work. According to Sierra Chart, OpenGL is not supported for ACSIL and it is not currently planned. If you require OpenGL, a work around would be to run multiple instances of Sierra and disable OpenGL on just the instance for this study.

Main features:

  • Filter by all currencies (Countries)
  • Filter by Expected Impact
  • Alerts via Subgraphs to color candles 10m before event
  • Alerts via Subgraphs to color candles at time of event (alert active for 1 minute)
  • Hide previous events
  • Show tomorrow's events
  • Show tomorrow's events only after specified time
  • Adjust color settings independently for past/upcoming/current events
  • Uses FF default colors for Event Impact markers
  • Adjust font size
  • Adjust horizontal and vertical offset
  • Adjust event spacing

RSI

This study is a mod of stock RSI to include additional lines to reference. Example:

  • You might want a 70/30 set of lines
  • And also an 80/20 set of lines

Trading System Based on Alert Condition - Limit Order

This study is a modification of the included 'Trading System Based On Alert Condition Study' that ships with Sierra.

Main features:

  • Option to use limit orders instead of market orders
  • Auto cancel orders if not filled within x amount of bars

No Mo Paper Hands

This is a 'for fun' study that has issues of it's own. The idea is if you continually close trades too early then maybe you need a reminder not to... so you can load this study and it will continually lock trading when you have active positions. But the 'issues of it's own' is that you can always be extra super paper hand and just remove the study and then unlock trading again to bail :) One issue I ran into is with non Teton order routing. Basically client side vs server side. I believe I fixed the client side issues by just cancel/flatten all orders if you are stopped or profit target hit. Otherwise you have issues as discussed in this thread.

Rango Pinch

This is a Pinch study based on MACD/ADX pinch-release. To visually see pinches and releases you can toss a MACD and ADX study on your chart and take a look. Try it on 512t chart and 1m chart. Some people will put it on multiple time frame/tick/volume charts and look at the confluence between the pinches forming and releasing. Written mainly as an exercise in learning Sierra studies, named after a Bearded Dragon.

Output Bar Formula Value To Subgraph

This study will take the result of the given formula and place the output in a subgraph. This was written as a helper study to avoid using Spreadsheets to perform the same function. We couldn't find an alerternative method to accomplish the same thing so gave this a shot.

Account Balance Text - External Service

This is a modification of the existing study shipped with Sierra. If using 'prop-ish' firm they may not update cash balance until next day. You may also want to specify an account other than the one the chart is set to use. Use Case may be if you have multiple accounts from a 'prop' place and would like to list the available funds on each. Add a study for each account and specify the account name. Why? You may just want to show this info on a chart vs the account window.

Main features:

  • Option to show Cash Balance vs Available Funds Balance
  • Option to prefix balance with Account Name
  • Option to manually specify account to use
  • Account balance offset so you can adjust what your real balance is. Ie, some prop-ish places say you have a 50k account. Reality is, it's NOT 50k. So why show it that way? It can help a trader to see what they are really dealing with!
  • Account name override option so you can hide account #'s and or just use a friendly name

MBO Study

MBO Study for filtering/coloring lot sizes.

Main features:

  • Option to select which DOM columns to use (Label/GP1/GP2) for Bid / Ask Data
  • Several color ranges to use for filtering lot sizes
  • Front of queue marker to easily see where the front of the line is
  • Select how many MBO Levels to Display
  • For each MBO Level, select how many elements to display

Studies Collection Download

All studies are contained in a single download file. You are free to download the source code and compile it yourself. However, please be aware that 'Remote Builds' will not work properly as some of the studies require external header files (included in my github repo). You will need to install a compiler locally. Sierra Chart provides some information that may help, otherwise Google is your friend. NOTE: Since you are downloading a DLL file you may get an alert of this being a malicious file. This is a good thing. You should be concerned when downloading files of this type. So please by ALL MEANS, go to Virus Total and paste the download link to have it scanned to ensure it's safe. Or you can review the report I ran on it already below. It will show you the results along with the URL it scanned which should match the one listed here for Study Collection Download.
