Hi just found this thread. Have tried to see if there’s an Ai trading tool available with the Sierra Chart platform but have drawn a blank. Would be interested to know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

Are we talking about Machine Learning AI or just trading algorithms? Too many dishonest software vendors deliberately confuse us. I asked Chat GPT today this question: "What AI is good for and not good for, what kind of data is needed to implement AI to solve a problem?" (See Attachemt) The answer really disappointed us retail traders. I don't think AI trading will happen any time soon, maybe never. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-08-14 07:22:57

AI is an absolute total fraud and does not exist. And there is nothing new in this regard. It is only there, for the purpose of brainwashing and controlling people.

brainwashing and controlling people 100% agree... by making us more stupid, lazy and decaying our critical thinking abilities resulting in complete dependence on AI. With that said, I have very recently with the new chatGPT5 version found some incredible insights into our trade log via Q&A and appropriate prompting and data visualization. after about an hour of back and forth, it spits out some good stats by exporting and uploading trade log and statistics tabs as evident in the screenshot attached.

For price action traders the only thing AI might offer is scanning for certain setups. Trouble is, 'certain setups' might be very very hard to explain/program as CONTEXT is normally all-important. And I agree with Tony, profitable AI trading is probably a long way off. Quant traders will use it but average Quant fund performance is pretty lacklustre in my experiance, and the people that work there are very clever. Telling... |

Good for: -mining data exported from sierra -generating code -idea generation/troubleshooting These are all currently impacted by token limits (at least on the public LLMs). It still isn't going to get you very far if you don't know and understand what you're exactly trying to do. Basically, the more YOU know, the more useful it is. As others have mentioned, any useful application to real time market data/execution seems way off. |

Ive been working on a multi agent bot that each agent reads csv file from sierra date. One bot price action, another delta, another rsi and so on. They score their individual reading and send to an execution bot that makes the final decision if the score is high. All using n8n workflow. SC has no real API so csv sheets is the best way to have n8n communicate the data. |

If #forpheus is possible, anything is. We may not be there just yet at the retail level but I would be surprised if the big boys don’t have something already with billions at stake to replicate (or coach) their best traders.

Take a look at using Python with Sierra Chart to create your models https://levelup.gitconnected.com/merging-the-trading-might-of-sierra-chart-with-pythons-flexibility-f4b2c86aabd6 https://medium.com/gitconnected/bridging-sierra-chart-trading-data-with-python-b853449b7366 |

This is funny because I just saw somebody post an "AI" tool to make custom DLLs for SC. I am sure it's awful like the rest of "vibe-coded" "AI" slop, but here's a Reddit link if anybody wants to go read an "AI" summary of his "project"... Did I overuse the quotes there a little? Maybe... either way: https://www.reddit.com/r/SierraChart/comments/1quq8lq/after_4_years_of_sierra_chart_im_tired_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button |

I am releasing an direct AI integration with Sierrachart soon. It is able to read your charts, studies, PnL, etc. I am including a companion bridge application to allow enrichment via MCP. At this stage it will have access to financial news context. It will function as a Mentor, or coach. It accepts a master system prompt so that you can tailor the way it works with you. It is heavily focused to help with the traders psychology. Also it pairs with a Tilt Monitor tool I have built that is intended to help the trader manage their mindset and will begin to warn you about your trading based on your position sizing, Pnl, irregular trading behavior. It's working extremely well so far. Direct integration with Gemini and OpenAI API. This will be expanded Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-02-26 03:26:15

Hey Calculus. Absolutely. I currently have the basic system working quite nicely. It ingests data from the charts, including study data, and feeds it into the LLM of your choice. Currently working with Gemini and OpenAI solutions, though I will be expanding that in the future. Gemini flash preview has been excellent in this regard, for it's speed and massive context window. The "ModMentor" study that I've created is compatible with typical time, range, etc charts. Additionally It is competent at contextualizing on the DOM Ladder. The Mentor is intended to provide actionable advice on the chart and can include multiple charts into it's context ingestion. So for example you can have it look at 30 minute charts, daily, 5 seconds all in the same analysis prompt. I also have bridge software that goes with the study set that handles API keys in a secure way, and I am adding MCP functionality for news sources, but additionally I am aiming to expand the scope to Options data API integration that is offered by a couple of providers. So ideally the Mentor will be able to see the options data, news events upcoming, charts, studies on charts, PnL, and a direct tie in to my other study called ModMentor. This one is a psychological tilt monitor that has a view on your session PnL, watches your contract sizing, has a profit goal for your account and will trigger an audible alert when reached, and of course risk management that will lock you down if your derived tilt score is too high or your loss is too great. Currently the round trip time when using flash preview is excellent, but there is the option to use heavier duty models that take longer to produce a response, if you are looking for a more in depth answer, but frankly gemini flash is already very good. I will be launching this as a subscription service soon. Website is live *rough and needs finalizing*, the various other studies I have on offer are basically ready to go, and I'm doing some optimization work on ModMentor before it's live. There will be 3 tiers. 1. single chart with 5 study ingestion. 2. Multi chart and multi study. 3. Multi chart with MCP bridge integration. Additionally, the Mentor study is capable of adding drawing elements to your chart on each query for to provide a visual reference based on it's analysis. Release day is very soon for the basic set of tools and mentor. Finalizing payment processor, website, and streamlining logic and feature set in my studies. There will be a preseltable set of system prompts for the operator to use for their trading style, or possibly just as a starting point to refine their own prompts. The |

Elon's MacroHard looks very interesting re integrating AI with Sierra (and other software, not just trading). Not out for several months but Elon also has a habit over overestimating launch dates. Here are the main points - Real-Time Screen Monitoring: The system processes live video feeds of a user’s computer screen, capturing what is displayed on the monitor like a continuous screenshot stream. Actionable AI: It does not just watch; it acts as a digital worker by emulating human keyboard and mouse inputs to perform tasks. However AI develops I think in a year's time many here will be using Sierra in conjunction with AI (for better or worse). Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-03-17 15:47:49

Frankly, in these last few months, I have become a big fan of AI. Sharing my journey so others (non technical users) can benefit. I switched from using just ChatGPT as a chit chat tool to Codex and Claude Code (still a bit concerned with using desktop or cowork). Historically I have being with Sierra since Oct 2018 when I moved to futures. With over 1000+ algos created and backtested across 300 Sim accounts and across all Symbols, it was impossible to keep track of performant algos with over 256K files generated in my SC folder. I was shocked to see that many trade logs lol With this background, I used codex and with 30 mins (with a little bit of back and forth) it scanned all the trade logs (I made sure to exclude my live account trade logs), generated top 20 performing trade stats based on my success criteria, drew equity curves and additional metrics that statistics tab does not support etc all into a single excel file. This was phase 1. Impressed with its capability, moved to phase2 Phase2: I moved to ASCIL. Within a few days, I could create dozens of advanced strategies mostly the things I could not achieve with simple alert trading systems. To achieve efficiency, I tagged codex with Claude to “peer review” generated code. I was fascinated with the issues each of the two were able to find and fix on their own before I could test myself. Long story short, my experience compared to early last year improved 100 fold. Last year, I could not even compile the damn code and now it knows my version of Sierra and generates error free code (still takes few iterations but gets it right). Bottom line: this has been a blessing for strategy development. Phase3: OHLC optimization. Wanted to see if it can scan ohlc data and generate some positive expectancy strategies on its own. It did! I used 2026 data, ran on 2025 and 2024 with random start/end dates and most were positive net pnl. Not perfect but not too shabby either. Phase4: this is where I am currently am. Read tick data from .scid binary file and build hft performant algos. It did! All phases required approx 20-30 interactions (back and forth), some caused frustrations mostly because I was burning tokens and dealing with limits reached etc adding delays to my journey but having started my AI journey on 3/1 and considering where i am and what I have accomplished for just $20/month each for OpenAI and Anthropic, I am hooked. Tons of ideas flooding my brain cells atm but I will stop here. With a bit of creativity and curiosity, anything is possible for a “normal” non-technical user eliminating 90% of the need for ASCIL developers and system sellers for simple stuff. Disclaimer: I did ran into some funky business with one ASCIL study which crashed my laptop once so use AI with care and at your own risk. I also would not use AI on my general purpose/private/personal laptop due to security risks. |
