About me

Hello,

I think I need to present myself and explain why I've created this website. First, my name is Hadrien (yes, I'm French) I'm 32 years old. I've been trading full time since 2021 when I decided to challenge myself in a different field after the end of my job contract (I was a researcher in Biophysics, completely unrelated job, I know).

I'm currently a full time trader and I trade mainly prop firm account (for now I have Two Elite trader funding account, one Leeloo account and one Apex trader funding account).

I was already investing money in company shares for a few years when I was a PhD student. It's only at the end of my studies that I took an interest in trading Futures contracts.  I followed several courses on trading to learn all the theoretical stuff and I watched a lot of Youtube videos on the subject which in retrospect was a good idea to follow courses but not so much for the Youtube videos 🤣

At the time I was trading on the Quantower platform but all the bugs and data feed lags forced me to search another platform (maybe Quantower is better now ?). It's at this time that I discovered Sierra chart, the first few months were brutal, the learning curve to master this software is really steep and I learned everything by myself thanks to video tutorials and by reading pages and pages of Sierra chart support board. With Sierra I had the impression of going back in the early 2000s, you need to change a lot of parameters to adapt it to your liking but once you understand how it's working it's one of the best trading and technical analysis software out there. The functionalities are endless, from the replay mode, the statistical panel to review and tag your trades, the sim trading mode to the extensive list of indicators that you can apply to your charts. I really appreciate what you can do with this software (even though it took me a long time to learn it 😅). 

It's after mastering Sierra chart that I realized that I was not the only one struggling with it. I was still in several Discord servers from the courses that I followed and a few of the participants also made the same decision as me to try Sierra chart. And they had some issues with it 😂. For the people that don't know Sierra chart, just opening an account is difficult, from choosing the right package (Package 3, 5, 10, 11 and 12), activating services, to also understanding that you need to open a broker account in another company to prove that you are not a professional trader. The path is not that easy.

I had a lot of request and played the role of technical support for several people. It's at this time that a participant from one of the courses advised me to open a website to propose chartbooks for people that struggle with Sierra. I thought it was a good idea and here I am now, I opened this website. From now on I will continue to enjoy my trading journey and I also thought about producing articles on how to master Sierra, If you are interested go take a look in the Blog section (for now its a bit empty).

Its the same for my social media it's pretty empty (see in the left corner of this page) but I plan to post weekly chart analysis for people to better understand how to prepare their trading session and also discuss trading psychology (which is a huge part of a trader job).

Hope you have a wonderful journey learning Sierra chart and trading in general, if you want to discuss go to my discord server (I just opened it) I'm here every day to trade the US session.

See you.
