I tried most of the trading platforms around, and even with their shitty support (bad manners) and nightmarish UX, Sierra has the best price/features ratio of them all.

Also, their software is optimized to the max, can't beat pure c++.

the only thing that annoys me to hell with this, is that they removed alot of connections and the 1 year discount. They should do a plan similar to motive wave for example. Or increase years+discount for ... traders that last more than 6 months ( which seems to be their client life expectancy now ? )

I don't consider SierraChart expensive, but doing the math, for the years i am a SC user I could have bought NinjaTrader and motive wave OF edition FOR LIFE !

But the bastards know that they are the best, and that denali feed is simply awesome, so they do what they want.

I guess for all their "boomer conspiracy theories", they are the prime example of "In 2021 I will own nothing, and I will be happy"

Only my 2 cents.

I've been happy with Tradestation especially since they went through some pricing changes a few years back. Like some here I've got a few custom indicators I'd have to have converted if I changed platforms, but have found no reason to do so.

With a small account, $2k I believe, you get free data, it checks out fine against others data in one my trading groups. The margins are bit higher as well as commissions but if you're a "really" active trader they have another tiered plan based on RT's per month.

So I pay $0 per month, other than maintaining a balance with them, but that's required wherever you trade.

I find logging in and having platform, broker, data, all in one sort of nice.

The Easy Language software for writing/customizing scripts/Indi's is not too difficult. I use it at a basic level but I've manged to get what I needed done.

Having no other experience with other platforms it's hard to say if it would suit the needs of a SC, MC or NT user.

Not a plug and no affiliation with TS, just my experience.

Hello @pereiraalex,

I agree with you.

Meanwhile, when I saw your post noticed that both your name and location seem to be from Portugal.

Is my assumption correct?

I'm just asking because I'm Portuguese and I don't have any contacts with other Portuguese traders.

Thanks.

Hi Rui,

Yeah, Portuguese proof: -> TUGA UNITE! or PORTUGAL CARAL** !!!!!
I don't know any other Portuguese traders also.

Offtopic:
BTW something I have been thinking about it while rereading what I wrote, I think the usage of the word "bastards" in my post, I don't mean for it to be too offensive.

Great, nice to meet you.

That proof is more than enough, you are Portuguese for sure

I now well the town where you live, I used to have family there. My father lives in Entroncamento.

Maybe one of these days we can exchange contacts and chat a little.
I know that's never easy to find time for that, but maybe, who knows...

Let's try and keep in touch anyway.

Regarding of the use of the word "bastards" - that sometimes happens when we are not speaking / writing in our mother language, right?
