Well, Sierra will only be as good as the feed you pump into it.....bottom line. It would be nice if I could finally see a Sierra chart that at the end of a trade day has a Cumulative Delta plot that actually matches an Inv RT Pro/DTN set up (set to .75 tick range bar for instance).....that would be really nice!Quote from maxima120:
Sierra chart gets DTN IQFeed historical bid/ask data for some $30 a month...
What else do people need to build cheap CVD ? Why is NT should be in the picture all the time?
I just dont get it.. I hate Sierra as a software and I like NT for C# but for historical bid/ask there is nothing better than Sierra for the price.
Sorry I dont get you....Quote from AMT4SWA:

Just to be very clear.....I did not ever say that NT + DTN works very well. What I did say is that for the FIRST TIME I have found a trader I know who is getting proper BID/ASK daily data runs with NT + DTN. Now I will add, this trader is very computer savy and I know he has excellent infrastructure at the user end. So this is now the FIRST evidence I have found in these past months (.....of the many traders I constantly talk with week after week using Cumulative Delta) of a trader getting NT + DTN to work without data drops. So this is so far an exception and not the norm from what I am finding from many users attempts. It appears that if you have very robust end user infrastructure you MAY be able to use NT + DTN without problems.Quote from maxima120:

You just said that NT + DTN works very well.... And a minute later you are saying Sierra + Very_Same_DTN works differenty (and unsatisfactory)..
I am puzzled here.....
P.S. My point was if one is going to use DTN then Sierra for CVD is better than NT because Sierra can access DTN historical b/a and NT cannot.
In fact I believe is that NT cannot be used for CVD unless you run it 24/7....
