Good morning gentleman. Good trades to you today. I am also running sierra charts. Do either of you have a template or when the time permits post the exact settings that you are using. Having a hard time matching mine to yours. I am thorough with sierra just need to know your settings so i can follow along. I am assuming your using the line close? I have the indicator on the bottom set up but dot colors not matching correctly. So something is amiss. Thanks guys.
set times to ny in advanced settings yes line close what I do so all I need is 1 chart is have a simple mv set at 1 which allows me to see line chart and candle chart at same time

Seems like many things are changing from say 15 pages back. Be nice to have a recap specific settings for tomorrow. Nice trade by the way. Hopefully the other posters are okay and didn't blow up seems they disappeared.. peace.

Haven't yet traded ZB, but can't say it's particularly slow on r4. Seems good and fast enough. Several continuation setups there:

Multiple reasons. Money is safer in futures acct, better leverage, no spread small comm, not trading against brokers, level playing field to name a few
