The order types you are using are all server side, so you do not need to worry about your local copy of Sierra Chart. Once you enter the trade, the orders will be dealt with by the exchange regardless of the state of your computer. The CBOE Indices exchange is $6.00 per month. The information you are referencing is if you were to change the option for the "Number of Systems" to be 2 computers instead of 1. Since your current exchange fees are $12.50, it is telling you that you will be charged an additional $12.50 as soon as you change the option to 2 computers. This is not relevant to what you are dealing with. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

We are not able to reproduce what you are seeing. When we use your chartbook and enter an order the charts stay responsive as they were. Given what you state, it sounds like there may be another circular reference occurring since you copied the 20 tick chart, and everything was fine once you removed the 5 Minute chart. Therefore our recommendation is to create a new 5 minute chart from scratch and then see if you have the same issue. If not, then there was something about that previous 5 minute chart that was causing the problem.

Did you rebuild that 5 minute chart or copy it? You need to not copy it and build it from scratch, otherwise whatever is causing the problem will persist. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Hi John, I have a few questions. 1. Is it better for perfromance to do the actual study on a single chart and overlay it on multiple charts? 2. I am trying to come up with a way to always trade the same $ risked per trade...Is it possible to take the difference from 1 tic above the the high of the bar minus the current bid ? if so then i could take a static amount of money i want to risk/((the difference from 1 tic above the high - the current bid)* $ value per tic)...and then opposite for a long entry... Currenlty what i have done is a spreadsheet study including the high low and last of the bar and did a math formula to tell me if i hit the bid/lifted the offer how many contracts would be need to keep a constant $ amount risked....I then plotted the info for the number of contracts to buy on at the top of the bar if i were to left the offer and plotted the info for the number of contracts to sell if i were to hit the bid...please see the attached picture....is this the best way to do this without writing code??? 3. And lastly do spreadsheet studies have a performance impact on SC? As always I really appreacviate your help. Mike Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-09-29 23:30:49

1. It depends on the study and what exactly you want to accomplish. For most studies you would be better off just adding the study to each chart. Although most of the calculation intensive studies do not allow you to overlay them (such as Volume by Price and TPO). 2. What you have done, or at least the concept (you could do this with multiple studies as well), is the only way to do this. There is not a built-in method. 3. Everything has an impact, but Spreadsheet Studies do have a bit more overhead than others. You just have to create what you need and see if it is giving you a problem. There are a lot of interdependencies, especially your computer power, so it's not possible to give any specifics.

Since you are actually using this on a Daily chart, you need to set the following Inputs on the "Daily OHLC" study: - Use This Intraday Chart: No - Daily Chart Number: Number of this chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
