Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can give me an idea what these indicators are showing and how I can replicate them on Sierra?
Thank you,
Tom

I don't use Sierra, but the middle bit to me looks like a red sell volume histogram in front of a green buy volume histogram, or a sell delta histogram in front of buy delta.
The bottom panel looks a bit like a tick chart but that makes more sense in the lower picture where tick is below zero with price moving down then picks up as price moves up. But it doesn't make as much sense with the upper picture where the large green candle seems to correspond to a drop in tick.
Like I say though, I don't use Sierra so I'm just guessing.

The bottom indicator looks like a detrended cumulative delta.

Wave 1 was identified in the last up move yesterday. That could be a wave C failure, but most likely not. ID this as a wave 2 of the larger yellow wave C. means lots of congestion going down, ending in an impulsive wave c to target of 618 area for reversal.

Hi @silly, you may not have noticed that you made this post in a thread you didn't mean to. Check this tread title: it's "What are these indicators?" and it's an old thread about someone trying to identify some indicators from some chart pictures they found somewhere -- it's not your journal thread, which is probably where you thought you were posting.

I noticed another time when the same thing happened, with another thread:

This happens, and there's no problem with it, of course, except you aren't posting where you probably thought you were.

It's a good idea to double-check where you're posting, just to make sure you're where you think you are when you add a post, so it doesn't surprise you (and the person who owns the thread. )

Bob.
