“Good:
1)Best price to quality ratio on the market;
In between:
1) Steep learning curve but at the end of the day time learning to use is is well spent!”
“Sierra Chart is one of the most powerful charting platforms available, and one of the most underestimated. The ACSIL C++ study interface gives you direct, low-level access to time and sales data and custom study development with a degree of control that no other retail platform offers. For anyone building algorithmic strategies that depend on market microstructure, tick-level analysis, order flow, custom execution logic, Sierra Chart is essentially the only serious option short of a fully proprietary infrastructure.
I have deep respect for what Sierra Chart is. It's a mechanic's workshop with well-ordered pegboard tool walls, not a psychedelic gamer platform.”
“Where do I even begin?
Sierra is fragile, hostile, sadistic to humans, and overkill for most users.
Setting it up is labor intensive and time consuming.
Menus are buried in multiple layers, and processes often fail silently.
Even when everything is working, basic, user friendly design is unintuitive or missing altogether.
It cannot seem to smoothly handle account or routing switches.
A minor tweak can destroy your whole workspace.
Updates can break it.
Even when perfectly configured, it isn't something that I enjoy using.
Online forums gaslight you constantly with the usual rhetoric -
They say it is SO powerful and flexible! "It just has a high learning curve", but I beg to differ.
The "learning curve" requires spending countless hours troubleshooting when you would rather be trading. It means learning to put up with endless friction and limitations.
Maybe it is powerful if you are a programmer and want to run a bunch of custom studies, but for a price action scalper like myself, it is not a good fit.”
“Sierra Chart spełnia wszystkie moje oczekiwania. Cenię sobie funkcje repay. Obsługa jest prosta. Mam nadzieję, że platforma będzie też w przyszłości w języku Polskim.”
“Very thorough platform for all traders. The learning curve is steep, but if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it, then it is invaluable.
Would recommend 10/10 times. The Teton routing service is the best in class. Nothing else compares and all for a very very honestly and reasonable price!”
“It's highly customizable, seems to be fast but over 30 mins and starts to get sluggish. Need to delete all data and re-download or close it and open it again. Also needs a revamp for the UI”
