Curious and interested. SC is both technically proficient (very) and inclined to go off about others' deficiencies excessively (also very, in my opinion.) So I haven't been totally sure what to think about their many complaints about Rithmic and CQG over the years. But I also have been very interested in what they would come up with, thinking it might well be in fact better.
So I'm on the sidelines, but an interested observer.

I agree 100% - we'll see how it goes, but I'm hopeful!
Right now, I only trade live occasionally but that will be picking up in the next year and I've been VERY worried my current broker so a change ahead of this may not hurt .
I've stayed with them this long cause of the low rates (SC WAS free, now not, and no 'live trade' minimum so I can stay Simming/Slumming as long as I want )
It is indeed great news. But I noted the following in the release notes: "We expect this service to become available for users to use, towards the end of September or the beginning of October 2021."
As someone who has released a lot of software, every single one of which was either late or very late compared to the initial estimates, I'm going to wait for it.
But yes, progress is good, and this is good news.

As always, I will be a slow adopter, so others can be the ones to discover and help get the bugs out. ( ) There will be bugs, and that is not a negative reflection on Sierra Chart. It's just a reality of software creation. But this is extremely encouraging. They look to have moved along very nicely.

What exactly is the advantage of SC using CME direct order routing? Is it that they aren't going through a FIX gateway (they currently route through TT?) like they currently are, and thus will have lower latency, presumably better reliability, etc.? I know they make good software, but I've read that thread, and I'm not too keen on being a beta tester Besides, it won't work for me as I use CQG and need more than CME markets (OSE, which SC has emphatically said they'll never support).
