Hi Ackin,

I'm talking about the CME price limits. https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/price-limits.html#equityIndex

Thanks

ah ... so i meant the restrictions within the previous day (similar to pivot) not this, but i can create it, there's a clear definition.

Or maybe ....Sierrachart-engineers will create it....? this would be great to have as a native function in the menu for Global Profit/Loss Management ;)

The limits are calculated daily based off of VWAP. https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/faq-sp-500-price-limits.html.html

It would be pretty awesome if it was a native indicator

I tried to do this but was never able to get it exactly. It seems the CME has an esoteric algo.

Interesting ... how big was the deviation? (yours and their number).

Edit:
I take back the question. I already see it in your post

If you:
- set the VWAP study's 'Base On Underlying Data' to Yes
- Set the Chart Settings' Session Times to 14:59:30 - 14:59:59 (assuming Chicago timezone)
you will be much closer, but sometimes still off by a tick or two.

Even if you manually use CME's Reference Price, and calculate the % offsets with a spreadsheet study, the LULD prices will not always exactly match CME's published LULD prices.
There seems to be a rounding formula for both the Reference Price and the LULD prices that goes beyond simply rounding to the ticksize.

I see, I'll try to email CME later today to try and get the exact way it's calculated.

The CME has just got back to me on my email. Here is the link they provided https://www.cmegroup.com/confluence/display/EPICSANDBOX/MDP+3.0+-+Market+Data+Incremental+Refresh

I think you can pull the CME price limits off their API. Maybe Sierra Chart can provide us access?

Yes we could, but that is quite a lot of code updates to support this. We will see.
