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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
