Thats a good analogy. I tried Sierra a good 10 years ago and gave up and went back to Ensign.

Now there is futures.io (formerly BMT) and videos on YouTube so there is information that wasn't availale then

Thanks again

Hi

I have recently started working with Sierra Charts and like them but I cannot figure out how to find a description of user submitted studies or how to download them or how to download a study like Ichimoku.

I have read thru Sierra's site but it did not help. Does anyone have other instructions or is there an Optimus video? Or could there be an Optimus video??

Thanks Squeeze

Hello Squeeze!

It looks like you've gotten up and running now with Yonatan's help, but we'll also be glad to make some videos on the subject for others who may have the same questions.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I did make a video for adding in a custom study collection, chartbook, or spreadsheet for Sierra Chart for anyone who might have come across this thread looking for some video guidance:

The elements that make up the Ichimoku study are also listed in the available studies collection of Sierra. (Right click on chart background, then left click Studies, scroll down alphabetically)
They are listed individually:

1. Chikou-Span
2. Kijun-Sen
3. Senkou Span A&B
4 Tenkan- Sen

this might be easier for a new Sierra user looking for Ichimoku

Your videos are an excellent series, thank you for all of your work that went into them.

Our YouTube channel is full of videos for each of the platforms we carry and support.
Just go to YouTube and put "OptimusFutures" in the search box.
We gather the ideas according to the main features of each platform and the questions asked by our customers.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

I think that if you go to Window>> Tile vertically, it will solve the first problem. Then you can resize your charts as you wish. If you want to drag one chart to another screen then go to Chart >> Detach/Attach chart window.
As to the lines on the TPO chart, just play with the subgraphs setting of the TPO study and you will find out what are those lines that you see.
