Sierra Chart
Description
Connects to any signal output in Sierra Chart and answers the question: when this signal has appeared historically, how far did price typically move?
The module analyses all historical occurrences of the selected signal, then displays three probability-based price targets directly on the chart at every new trigger.
Probability Levels
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 84% target | Price reached at least this far in ~84% of historical cases — conservative expectation |
| 50% target | Average price movement — median historical outcome |
| 16% target | Only ~16% of cases turned before here — aggressive/maximum expectation |
These levels adjust for real market distributions. Non-normal outcomes are handled with three distribution methods: Auto, Cornish-Fisher (moderate skew), and Strictly Monotonic (extreme fat tails).
What You See on the Chart
- Trigger marker with sequential number at each signal — track sample size as it grows
- Probability bar showing the three target levels
- Distribution histogram — 20-bin frequency visualization of historical outcomes
- Statistical metrics — mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis per signal
Sample Size and Confidence
| Triggers | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 1–10 | Preliminary — statistics forming |
| 10–30 | Pattern emerging — levels becoming meaningful |
| 30+ | Statistically significant |
| 100+ | High confidence — robust foundation |
