I am looking for some assistance in setting up my sierra chart system. I have downloaded the application and used my 2 week free trial. I am now looking to start a service package and data feed, however im not sure exactly what I need. I also need assistance on setting up all of the charts I require.

I would like to be able to see the following.
1) Emini S&P 500 futures contract (ES) Normal trading Day
2) Emini S&P 500 futures contract (ES) Overnight session
3) I would like to be able to set up a Relative volume indicator (100 Day)
4) 10 day ATR
5) NYSE Tick
6) NYSE advance decline line
7) Volume at Price & Volume at time studies.
9) The Russell Indexes

From what I can gather I need to Sierra chart package #5, and a Data Service. Just not exactly sure if thats correct. I am currently setting up my trading account through AMP Futures Broker. There website shows that Sierra charts is included for Free. Im not sure if that applies to what Im looking to do. Please help.

Thanks
Nathan

We could quickly put together a Chartbook that includes the basics of all of this.

9) The Russell Indexes
Specifically what indexes?

Through AMP will you be using CQG? Contact them about this if you are not sure.

That would be great! The Russel mini 2000 is what im looking for. Are the charts continuous contract or just the quarterly? also if I want live data do I need to subscribe to something else, and is that still connected to my sierra charts or do I required an additional charting program?

Thanks

Continuous Futures Contract charts are supported. Refer to:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts

You do need to pay for usage time on your account for help with the Chartbook. You cannot rely on the Sierra Chart account provided by your broker for this level of help.


You will not have to pay anything extra for the market data feed. You will just connect Sierra Chart to either the CQG or Rithmic account provided by your broker. This is all you need to do.

We will set up the Chartbook for you today.

in regards to the real-time data, do you have your live trading account set up with the broker yet? That will be required for the real-time data.

The Chartbook we are working on is set to use US Eastern time. Is that what you want? Or what time zone?

We apologize for the long delay with this. We are quite busy now.

This Chartbook is all configured according to your specifications. Obviously there's a lot of variance how exactly to do the configuration. We put together a basic configuration.

The chartbook is attached. Here are the instructions to use it:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Using a Chartbook Provided by Sierra Chart Support

The time zone for each chart is set to the Denver time zone.

The most important thing to understand is that the symbols in this Chartbook are set to work with the SC Data- All Services service. If you change services, you need to change the symbols according to these instructions here:
Changing the Symbol of a Chart
