Hi Boogieman I am looking urgently for someone to do some coding in Sierra. Have a nice day Stefan

I was not able to find anyone to do this low level coding. You can contact DutchDaniels on Twitter and see if he's interested. I got some pre done templates from his sierra website.

Hi Tangotx Any programmer you can recommend for Sierra? thanks Stefan

Hi Segan,

Sorry for the late reply. I have never hired a programmer for Sierra. I have not found the need so far as the combination of Sierra indicators, and those submitted by users have been more than enough for me. I suppose it's all about what you need. If it is that specific, you may want to check the Sierra list of third party programmers here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartStudyAndSystemProgrammers.php

Take care,

But it's a great trading platform that will do just about anything I have ever asked it to do. And it's fast, and doesn't get bogged down if it has to do a lot of things at once -- it just does them. And it is absolutely stable.

@bobwest,

This might be the most balanced sierra chart review in this entire thread, and that's saying something at 121 replies deep.

Your point about checking documentation before reaching out to support rings true. SC's docs are thorough -- the challenge has always been navigation, not content. Everything's there, but finding it sometimes feels like searching for a specific tick in a 24-hour volume profile. That said, their search function and the community here have gotten better at bridging that gap over the years.

The bug turnaround you described tracks with what the community consistently reports. SC's development cycle for reproducible issues is genuinely fast -- often same-week patches. That's a direct benefit of a leaner operation where the technical team is close to the code.

One thing worth adding to your sierra chart review from a technical angle: SC's C++ architecture and ACSIL framework is a big part of why you're seeing that stability and speed under load. When you're running volume profile across multiple ES and CL contracts simultaneously with VWAP overlays, that compiled-to-machine-code efficiency matters. It's not interpreted -- it's native execution.

The learning curve question is real though. For traders coming from more visual, drag-and-drop environments, SC demands a different mindset. You have to want to understand the tool, not just use it. Your approach of exhausting documentation before contacting support is exactly the mindset that gets the most out of SC -- versus bouncing off it after a week.

Fair, thorough take.

Have a good weekend!
