The only thing you need to profitable is a blank chart. Pure price action and market structure.
Things to add that'll help with context:
-Globex open
-PDH
-PDL
-Overnight high
-Overnight low
-Globex wap
-RTH wap
-Previous day VAH
-Previous day VAL
-Daily chart
-1H/30m chart
-1-5m chart
In reality you don't need any of it. But to be honest? There is a million and one ways to trade, to come up with a bias, and to come up with a plan.
Literally just make a plan, mark levels, mark a zone, and as soon as price comes to the area you have marked, slap a trade on. Don't wait for confirmation. Manage risk and just enter the trade. The market will either respect it or not. If you wait for confirmation, the trade already happened. Get stopped but a few minutes later price is respecting the marked area? Slap another trade on.
You don't need to pay for courses. You don't need to pay for seminars. You don't need to pay for discords.
You do need to manage risk. You do need to find your risk profile. You do need to ensure your winners are bigger than your losers, unless you're a die hard scalper.
If you're unwilling to trade 1 micro MES/MNQ without the thought of greed, to find your own edge, or to polish your own risk profile, you aren't going to make it. If you think a discord is going to make you profitable, you aren't going to make it.
No one is here to save you.
Some call it the bible for Sierra Chart. I call it the handbook. Years ago I wrote the Sierra Chart handbook, and then I made it free.
The handbook is also featured on the Sierra Chart website under educational resources.

MBO Blocks update pushed out. Order Tracking + History Tails + History Snapshot Window. Restart Sierra Chart to pick up the new DLL. Disabled by default, set "MBO Order Tracking" to a non-zero value in study settings to enable. https://t.co/cL6UOzr5mO
I've been tracking MBO order movement with internal studies and data pipelines for a while now. Finally bringing some of that directly into MBO Blocks. History dots mark orders that changed based on your minimum filter size. Optional history tails briefly show the source and destination (orders move in sub-second timeframes and are easy to miss). Snapshot windows reveal the full movement trail on demand. How you use this data is up to you. These features have been running in private studies and just finishing up final testing as they get merged into the free MBO Blocks study. Will post an update when the Free bundle is updated with these changes. A few examples. @SierraChart
Slowly migrating my Sierra Chart studies over to https://t.co/xpGi0D4QlN — free bundle is live with 8 studies so far. Can see the release notes for the main changes. Still ironing out a few things but if you want to help test, sign up is free. Should auto sync your Sierra account within a minute and auto download the free study bundle when you restart Sierra Chart. Tried to answer all questions in the FAQ also. Mainly getting this going to then focus on trying to release some non-free studies. Trying to make a go of this full time so we'll see how it goes.
I've been consciously offline for the last few weeks immersed in my work, in person, in the city.
The gap between the AI narrative on X, and the real world is immense.
The work that builds, adapts and changes the world we live in is not a binary series of tasks, outputs and data. It's judgment calls, relationship building, creative problem-solving under real-world constraints. The most valuable human work lives in the spaces that can't be reduced to data and logic.
It's messy, ambiguous and complex to navigate.
AI can generate options, but it can't get reluctant stakeholders aligned, find workarounds when systems fail, or bring people up to speed in ways that require empathy and contextual awareness. It can't politically navigate an organisation, build trust, or push through resistance. These are fundamentally relational and persuasive skills.
If you really want to be future-proof, don't waste your valuable time obsessing over the latest AI models.
Develop agency. Be a connector, a problem solver, a creative thinker. Lean on the knowledge and the people around you. Understand the context of the organisation you operate within. Be someone who can walk into a messy situation, read the room, build trust and get it done.
This is not a prompt engineering problem. It's a job description problem.
