“Absolutely rock solid and the ability to program custom indicators and tools using C++ is unmatched (and entirely unavailable as far as I can tell) in any other platform.”
“Sierra Chart is an amazing software package.
Positives:
. Fast
. Copious historical Futures data
. Direct connection to the exchange
. Very few bugs
. Excellent chart trading
. Extensible through C++
. Algo trading
. Fantastic simulator
. Excellent replaying of previous days

Negatives
. Configuration can be tricky due to unique settings, dialogues and copious number of settings
. UI initially feels dated, but is highly customizable”
“it is fast and clear system. however sometimes there are problems to properly save and reuse some predeifne options/config in Tools. it is not saving as expected and there is much time wasted before you can chagne set up for cerain config.
Will be great is Sierra Prepare some quick refence card or short vidoes how to fix issues or how to set thigs up based on frequent questions”
“GOOD: Fast. Reliable. Low computer resource requirements. Flexible tools and study setup.
BAD: The new idea of applying setup windows to all tools is annoying and time-wasting. For example, changing or selecting Fibonacci levels used to be quick and easy with a tick box; now you have to choose from a menu. The idea was good for some setups, but applying it to all features was a poor decision.”
“Invest some time getting to make the most of SC and you wont regret it. Lots of other charting packs focus on how to change colors and plot pretty lines. If that is the most important thing in a chart pack, forget SC (yes it can do the "pretty stuff").
I use the ordeflow capabilities with my program strats and have zero regrets.
And it isnt expensive - good support + great tool = great asset for me”
