“Good:
You are able to replicate every feature present in other platform using toolbars and ascil, personally I've built by own dom price column, volume column etc as an ascil study. What you can make is near limitless especially with standard GDI+ drawing being used.
Bad:
Menu diving can be quite extensive for new users”
“I've used a number of platforms over the last 20 yrs. SierraChart is by far my favorite. Charting is insanely customizable. Creating your own studies (Indicators) is also easy and simple. No need to get into coding unless you want to. Executing trades on a chart is simple and fast. Using the customizable hotkeys with a programmable keypad is fantastic if you are a fast in-out scalper. The Teton data from Sierra is very fast and reliable. Yes there is somewhat of a learning curve but if you want a superior platform give SierraChart a month or two and you won't be going back to using handicaped platforms.”
“Best platform for serious futures traders by far. Made by professionals. Fully customizable.
The platform’s stability is unmatched, and PC resource consumption is minimal. The Denali and Teton services make trading in real time feel like trading in a simulator—orders are filled immediately and without slippage. The documentation is extensive, covering everything you need. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, a Sierra Chart engineer will respond within 24–48 hours. It’s truly brilliant.
If there’s any downside—which isn’t really one, given the level of customization Sierra Chart offers—it’s that the learning curve can be a bit steep at first. But once you grasp the logic, everything becomes intuitive, and all the information is available online. Sierra Chart engineers definitely know what they’re doing.”
