I have recently discovered that Sierrachart is developing a trading evaluation system, apparently it's something quite recent and they are still workin on it and the documentation is not completed yet. Read the following link:

I had the feeling they were going to develop something like this, when I read the following post months ago:



To me it's quite clear what SC wants to achieve, and it will really be a game changer if the community starts to believe in it.
This might result in some sort of external funding and if adopted on a wide basis might end up as a revolution of the prop firms world.

I have been a long time user of both SC and TopStep and I was surprised to discover how much SC team hated all the funding companies like TST, OneUp, Earn2trade etc... which coincided (curiously) with the decision of SC to stop supporting Rithmic. Read the article below to get a full picture of the situation:

Although I don't share the same vision of SC about funding companies, I perfectly understand SC ideas and I think that if they manage to make it grow it will definetly be a game changer.

Please share your thoughts on this topic.
Do you also think that this might really be something big?

honestly i love SC as a platform but i would never work for them or attempt to be funded by them. if they transferred the way they treat customers to traders it won’t last.

That's a good point, but what if they manage to build something like etoro for futures? it would be like collective2 but with full integration with the trading platform.
In that case we wouldn't be funded directly by SC but by some other company or person. SC might only be reliable way to showcase our performances and we could get funded by some millionaires searching for extra return on their capital.

Yeah , SC has all functions, they really should consider to become a FCM or broker, otherwise they will need to deal with others who SC don't want to be bothered and rely on.

I think that this is a step that they will take very soon, they are too good and their platform is miles above all the rest.
They are offering their own datafeed, though it's a rebranding so I think they are heading towards becoming a FCM with a full integration of datafeed and platform.
