Hi, Sierra Chart Team, I would like to bid my desire to have the real-time data available for GSCI indexes, for now, only the master GSCI Index and equal-weighted, equal-weighted total return, excess return, these three indexes could be connected through the real-time data feed port, the rest of the GSCI index is only available through historical data feed port, it would be really nice to have real-time access to the rest of GSCIs. Thank you. |

Can you tell us one of these GSCI indexes you are using now and we will look into this.

For now, I'm referencing these indexes, "All Crude Index", "Brent Crude Index", "Crude Oil Index", "Petroleum Index", "Petroleum ex-gas oil Index". Essentially it's for the purpose of trading CL futures. The master GSCI index is heavily weighted toward crude oil, so I can get a general feel of the oil market, but it's still mixed with other commodities, so that creates some of the bias information. Thank you, Sierra Chart Team. |

I'm also curious whether Dow Jones Commodity Index - Crude Oil could be added into the real-time index collection, I knew there is one index for gas oil from the same dow jones index family already available on Sierra Chart Real-Time Data Feed, $DESN, it's gas oil so it's highly related to crude oil, but it's quite not there yet, and the uptick/downtick volume data is messed up, that is the most crucial information I'm looking for, without it there's no need to use market index specifically, just monitor the futures itself is alright. My purpose of using an index to monitor the market is so it's handy to have one single chart for all the data, managing futures data is quite a hassle, it's massive in size, has multiple data because it's contracted/separated in months, it's too big to load so changing chart time is a hassle, and the usage of continuous rollover chart is a hard choice, I want to see up/downtick volume and trades data from individual contract but still want to have a single master chart, then how does continuous futures chart handle tick/trades data from each individual contract? How can I get all the information so I can see the direction where the institution/professional would go? Do I need to set up multiple charts and use combine/sum study to combine up/downtick data from each chart every time? It's quite a procedural. It's an example of tick/trades data in practical use, isn't that beautiful? I'm so glad that I found out Sierra Chart and decided to subscribe to the service, these data tell me all the reversal and whether the breakout is true or fake base on the real data, which is base on real market transaction, real money. |
