been through a few platforms and now i'm sticking with TOS and Sierra

Sierra's support is amazing and they listen to the users for new features.

I use Sierra for to replace Jigsaw's DOM, Market Delta's footprints charts, and WindoTrader's TPO.

I preferr Sierra Chart. At first it really seems to be a bit complicated as a spacecraft, yet I find it worthy studying the platform. You can find almost anything in there. Very few bugs on the other hand.

It also has the ability to connect to multiple data execution providers (CTS, Rithmic, CQG,,,) so you can choose one that is ideal for your area and set up.

I agree, I've tried it. The only thing to be aware with this combo is that server-side AOCO's won't be available.

Server-side is possible with CTS data.

Yes, it is. However, alongside with advantage (absence of necessity of being online) it has one disadvantage (at least the way it works with CTS). When market moves very fast as your entry limit order is filled, you appear in position with price moving behind your stop with no bracket stop. There is a nice setting in Sierra Chart "Auto-Send Market Order On Rejected Attached Stop Order" (in Trade Settings) that would automatically flatten your position ASAP in this case, however this setting does nothing when sever side AOCO (brackets) is used.
