The challenges I have experienced in some cases it’s hard to find answers on how to use some of the features that it offers despite the literature on Sierra that explains a process step by step which is great but the only trouble is the literature is most of the times dense and not written in the simplest of English. For this case I believe video form illustrations would help.
The replay in sim can be a bit of a challenge on Sierra Charts especially where one is playing multiple charts with order flow (FPC) of the same Instrument at once, it doesn’t run as smoothly as a live
I have been trading with Sierra charts for 18months and briefly tried other platforms such as Motive Waves, Tradovate and Trading View I have repeatedly come back to Sierra perhaps because it’s been my training ground but certainly also for the favourable offers mentioned above.”
