AI-based Market Profile Analysis (Mar S&P Futures) Can a chatbot trade a Market Profile Chart … if given instructional text from pioneering CBOT floor traders? Between 2008-2010, I studied the work of four floor traders who were pioneers in promoting Auction Market Theory (AMT). My notes were complied into text files derived from my study of: • J. Peter Steidlmayer’s introductory book, ‘Markets and Market Logic’ and later ‘Steidlmayer on Markets: Trading with Market Profile’ • A early seminar given by James Dalton, along with notes from his book, ‘Markets in Profile’ • Don Jones’ (Cisco Futures) Market Profile/Meta-Profile for Day-Trading (👇), along with personal communication with Don • An intensive mentorship focused on understanding the Auction Market Development Process with Tom Alexander, Alexander Trading Claude’s intellectualization → application of those four educators’ work is provided below - as an interactive graphic ... with rollover glass hover bars that describe auction market process conditions … day-by-day, blow-by-blow. stately-griffin-40cb34.netlify.app Taken together, the trend analysis, sell signaling, and intraday descriptions ... created by Claude ... were derived exclusively from my text notes ... gleaning the work of those four pioneering floor traders, during my initiation into trading. I emphasize; this AI-based analysis of a chart image is derived solely from the work of four AMT pioneers ... thinking differently about portraying price action ... now, over 40 years ago. And to this day, I firmly believe that the Auction Market Development Process remains the single most accurate interpretation of market dynamics.

@outof0ptions Even Claude knows ICT is shit.

use this CLAUDE[.]md template for your Claude Code Channels sessions in Telegram for the best experience:

@_sierratrading If you're three attempts deep on the same bug, stop, because Claude is just guessing at this point. Start a fresh conversation with a clear problem statement. Create a troubleshooting manual, recording every bug you fix. It will compound over time.

AI slop... This was with Opus 4.6. If you don't know a thing about coding, AI will just aim to please, and then you stack a few of these bugs in your code and all of the sudden it's unmaintainable. How did it arrive to this conclusion of sierra chart? Who knows!

@alex_prompter @grok write a prompt to understand this prompt so it can write a promt to generate a prompt.

99% of people will never master claude prompt engineering. Not because it's hard. Because nobody showed them these 5 prompts. Use them 10 times and you'll prompt better than people who've been at it for years👇 (Save this. The 99% won't.)

@patnrekognishn I need to upgrade from using PCC

Headwinds, tailwinds, and live gamma flips that look like a cold front sweeping in - I swear options data is looking and sounding more and more like a weather forecast 🌧️ Still impressive stuff! 👌

@3xBoogeyman You should look up the green lumber fallacy.

Am I still a hater yall? Give it to me straight 😂🤭

@3xBoogeyman This dude trades NQ with a 900 tick SL. Just as wild.

This is the number one reason why I thought this was a tradingview/demo account. No risk management whatsoever.

@brianchilders @DegenApeDev @openhome @JesseRank Approved by whom?

@DegenApeDev @openhome @JesseRank I built an agent (personality). Waiting for it to get approved. I'm about to start working on an ability (skill). Hope that gets done in the next 2-3 days. :)

Looks like the @openhome dev kit came in today! Let’s start building!

@DoubleWideCap @Chosin76 Buyers are on crack.

@Chosin76 not necessarily an aggressive buyer bounces it up.

WTF ES!

@SoundDobad @A_M_R_M1 Got to say, they win in the meme war.

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian media released anime-style footage said to depict the final moments of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei before his assassination.

@patnrekognishn 🍻

Mastery comes from structured learning that builds reproducible understanding of the auction while refining execution and psychological resilience. The professional views development as compounding: small, consistent improvements in reading, positioning, and discipline yield exponential results over thousands of trades. There is no shortcut or holy grail; progress requires ongoing work, honest review, and alignment with core principles. Have a great weekend all 🥂

@patnrekognishn 💯

Patterns are not guarantees - they reflect probabilities based on how auctions typically resolve. The professional uses them in context: combined with the current auction state (balance or imbalance) and confluence from tools like profiles or order flow.

@baynkr Adding this to my wish list.

My book went to print today. The Art and Business of Professional Trading (Wiley). It's not a setup guide. No buy signals, no take profit levels, no "10 rules for consistent profits." It's more like... here's a bunch of stuff we think about at the professional level that nobody really talks about publicly. Psychology, process, how edges actually work, why most people blow up, what the survivors do differently. People who've read it early seem to like it. If you're into Alpha Trader, Fooled by Randomness, The Laws of Trading, this is in that family. In bookstores April 30. You can preorder through Wiley or find it on Amazon, wherever you buy books.

@EsBoltoise I was testing a dozen economic data releases studies back to 2017, boy that took some time when I hit reload recalculate. Maybe data limiting...

Can any sierra wizard or tech wizard explain and help me fix an issue where, sometimes in Sierra IM RUNNING 34 GIGS OF RAM -specifically trying to replay today’s IB

@karaoke_andi Of course, but I'm not going add size because I don't feel anything. That's just being an emotional recking ball.

@Tape_Hunter There is nuance to that. Still. Nobody can sell to me the image of an emotionless robot-like trader feeling nothing. I stand by what I say: raise the stakes and it will be uncomfortable.

Profitable trading is supposed to feel uncomfortable. If it feels boring to you, you probably trade a meaningless size. My DAX position from this morning was as much a 90pt in profit, now it's -13. Doesn't feel exactly boring to me.

@HandsomeBear If you can't answer this question on your own, are you sure Sierrachart is for you?
