I've been a Sierra user since about 2013, and they have fixed most of the issues I have had with it in that time. My 2 remaining big wishlist issues are :
1. some basic dom trade buttons on the dom instead of as an attached or unattached panel, which takes up much too much space on the screen
2. being able to set a chartbook to a specific window/monitor as a group, instead of individual charts. This way I could use a number of chartbooks to flip through without having to open and close them or minimize individual charts. ATAS platform handles this nicely
FWIW, I also agree about the lack of basic options functionality in Sierra, but to be fair, many other futures platforms do not have this and they have never promised anything more than the ability to call up a particular call or put in a chart or dom and trade it.
Point 2) is really important. One way to get around it is to create a button in your main window to hide all detached charts and one to restore them. This way once you have settled your charts on different desktops you just reduce/restire all of them at once.
This solves the problem, but of course it would be easier to be able to "detach" workbooks or to have a conceptual framework that stands between workbook and chart, so it could work as a container for charts.
One Feature that I would include in Sierra is the ability to mask your account number.
I like to make videos about trading and I am also open to trade live but I don't want to show everyone my account number, so at the end I keep all videos for myself.
It would be more than enough to mask the last 3-4 digits or to rename the account in some way.
This is a feature that users suggested to Sierra several times, but they just decide that it's not worthy. Many users suggested also the same feature, but Sierra has it's own way of deciding what it's useful and what is not.
For instance they think that TST and other funding firms are scammers and they just decide to drop them. I think in the long run Sierra will lose thousands of users. They have a great platform but they just don't care about the customer. In the meanwhile other platforms catch up.
FYI, regarding the SC Order-Routing Service/TT Order-Routing issues, I read this from the SC engineering team on the support board from Tuesday, February 16:
