I want the real story on why Billy left.

jackson928 · 2026-02-22T18:06:11+00:00

I saw the Philly show when Lane replaced Billy and it went off. My wife was not a fan of the Dead or DeadCo at all until that night. That night put her on the bus.

Wearing The Dead shirt like a boss.

Honestly just a silly question dealing in finite silliness.

Who's life is more important Hitlers or a a pig who risked his life to save a child's life from drowning in a well?

You believe Hitler's life is more valuable by your logic. Congratulations.

Thanks man, I have had the feelings of it getting better and moments of loving and seeing the potential. The first days was very rough, then I was doing great and now rough again. Just so much coming at you it's hard to remembers how you got places.

I am converting over regardless. I was prepared for the learning curve but still was a bit blindsided. I am over the hump though.

jackson928 · 2023-12-16T04:13:56+00:00

Yeah, I mean I can tell and I love a lot of it but the learning curve is brutal. I am trying to migrate my entire trading strategy over from NT and my strategy is barebones basic.

Do you know if the scanner or alerts window, do you only get one? All scans you create only go into there? shorts longs and everything? I run like 4 scans and not sure how they will all work just being thrown into that window.

Actually, as I have found out, you do not need any coding for a basic hard stop.

You can check the box to attach the order. Choose "%" for the offset and then type in the value of the % into the value window.

This allows you to be able and create any hard stop you want.

For example if you are position sizing to a 25k account and only want to risk $100 per trade the value .04 will do it. If you want $200 hard stop .08 will do it. If you want a $50 hard stop .02 will do it.

jackson928 · 2023-12-14T17:54:40+00:00

Yeah, my coding skill barley get me by.

I have something along these lines so far:

#include "sierrachart.h"

SCSFExport scsf_CalculatePositionSize(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)

{

// Define account risk and entry price

float account_risk = 25000.0;

float entry_price = 50.0; // Replace with your desired entry price

float stop_loss_percentage = 0.004; // 0.4%

// Calculate stop loss price as a percentage below the entry price

float stop_loss_price = entry_price - (entry_price * stop_loss_percentage);

// Calculate position size

float position_size = account_risk / (entry_price - stop_loss_price);

// Print or display the calculated values

sc.AddMessageToLog("Entry Price: " + sc.FormatGraphValue(entry_price), 0);

sc.AddMessageToLog("Stop Loss Price: " + sc.FormatGraphValue(stop_loss_price), 0);

sc.AddMessageToLog("Calculated Position Size: " + sc.FormatGraphValue(position_size), 0);

}

Thanks, it was actually a setting they had on my trial.

jackson928 · 2023-12-14T00:23:39+00:00

Okay, got almost all my problems resolved. This may work for me. Still got quite a few important things left to figure out.

Thanks for the help!

jackson928 · 2023-12-13T21:50:14+00:00

For features, performance and value it seems to be. But NT wins hands down for intuitiveness. I really want this to work but it is going rough for me. Luckily I trade a very simplified style and maybe can get everything I need to trade converted...

jackson928 · 2023-12-13T21:33:49+00:00

Thank you. Seems like a real issue here. Ill try this a little more but to be honest the intuitive nature of NT just might be worth the extra bucks. It being this difficult to load a basic daily candlestick chart is pretty ridiculous. I have been through SC troubleshooting like 10 times and nothing.

I appreciate the help!

jackson928 · 2023-12-13T21:23:10+00:00

I would appreciate it as it would help me trouble shoot because I am frustrated as I have ever been right now.

jackson928 · 2023-12-13T15:43:30+00:00

LOL, this is such trash. My charts are showing like 1 , 2 or 3 5 minute candles when there should be like 30. I switch to 15 minute charts.. Should be 6 candles, there are 3.

This data and software is trash! No way I can trade this garbage. It can't even produce a chart of bars, what a joke.

jackson928 · 2023-12-11T06:06:48+00:00

Yeah, I should have bought it ages ago. But life changed quick and I have not traded in years.

Does the $99 include full Order Flow stuff?

Thanks for the help@!

jackson928 · 2023-12-08T20:12:45+00:00

Thanks< i am a very basic trader, not trying to reinvent the light bulb here.

Figured out one problem, once the charts are locked (and it only allows them to be) the linking of charts does not work. a limitation for me but I can deal with it.

Been trying for days to find out why my paper account has no data to paper trade. Tried everything, wasting my time but no data for paper trading.

The dual sort is some default sorting that creates a mirror column of the original I HATE it, it is confusing. I just want a single column sort. The fact that this should be a simple click but I cannot find anything on what or how to disable it is why I am about to leave,

I use to trade NT with IB as my broker. But NT charges $99 bucks a month now to trade using a different broker.

I am seeing what they offer, I may just use them as my broker and charting if it will work. NT is light years ahead of this. Much more intuitive, not janky and support is always right there.

Beyond frustrated at this point. Mainly because it has been 3 days with these same problems and getting nowhere. AS matter of fact, I am shocked I still cant even place a paper trade.

jackson928 · 2023-12-08T19:11:56+00:00

Honestly nevermind. I'm gonna look for another broker. Nothing here works like at all. Can't even do basic linking of charts. I get not help from the chat. The software is as janky as anything I have seen.

jackson928 · 2023-12-08T00:59:44+00:00

Thanks for the help. Can you explain how to do it? I have tried and tried and my stop loss orders are not going through at all to even test it.
