“You will need a decent amount of time to get used to all the funcionality that Sierra Provides. Then you can do pretty much everything you want to do. And If Something is not implemented already, you can Put your own code. For indicators or automation. Sierra ist Made by professionals. Their highest priority is the stability of their Software. Whatever they implement is working without any Errors.”
“Sierra Chart is a great piece of trading software. Executions are swift and trading window is simple and gets the job done.
However, navigation the menu system is very complex and horrible to work with. The interface looks like something from the 80s. I don’t get it and I don’t understand it and I don’t like to touch it. I have to go through many online videos wasting a lot of time to try and find out what to do with it sometimes. Recently I want to combine two or more trading accounts so when I trade of one it takes the trades on the others. It’s a simple task. I contacted Sierra chart, they sent me a link to follow - but even that I couldn’t do. It’s just too complicated to use. So my accounts are still not connected.
It shouldn’t be this difficult to navigate menus.”
“Sierra Charts is super value for money and is the most customisable platform out there, it is fairly easy to use and more importantly, the online support is brilliant the knowledge base has practically all the answers to all the questions you will want to ask and on the only occasion I did ask their response resolved my query and in quick time. Great platform.”
“low cost, stable, fast, low latency, but.......long learning curve, over optioned, seemingly endless hidden options, wish that it was more user friendly, has a stock feed, but no hotlists, wth...custom ideas require custom programmers because its written c++, overall my experience is good, but in order to become expert at the program takes time....a lot...in order to create code you must be a programmer...”
“For the money, NOTHING is better. That said, I don't like the Danali data feed you are forced to use now. It sometimes freezes when the market moves really fast. It's rare, but it will happen after a data release or whatever. Never did this with the CQG data I got from AMP. Also, it's a very steep learning curve. Once I have it set up, I hardly ever dare to tweak it since it's so finicky.”
