Quote from SierraChart:
I don't know when you last looked at Sierra Chart but we have done a major redevelopment of our trading capability during the last two months. You should have a new look. We can give you a new trial. Just today we completed development on a new trailing stop feature supporting four different kinds of trailing stops.
To give you an idea of the work that has been done, there probably has been 1000 internal changes.
We also plan continued improvement with our trading capability.
We fully support chart trading with the ability to modify orders on the chart.
We support simple to complex trade management with server-side OCO functionality.
In the case of IB you can now access TWS entered orders as well and adjust those on the chart.
If you have a specific questions about what you are looking for with chart trading capability, just let us know here.
Here is an image showing some of the capability:

We will try to put together a video in the next day or two to demonstrate what we've done.
thanks for the reply, the main reason I dislike SierraCharts is the interface. I just can't be bothered to work my way through it when there are better designed UIs out there...
Understood. Everyone has their own opinion, and we respect that. However, in what area do you find the user interface not as good as what you would like? Is it with general charting, drawing tools, chart trading, trading in general, or studies? In the past year we have made many user-interface improvements to make accessing often used functionality even easier. Sometimes it is just a matter of the user not being familiar with an easy way to perform a certain action.

PT Multistation is a nightmare, they have good ideas but need a lot of time to mature as a product. Good thing I only payed 1 month subscription
to strange... i've spent a day to adjust my workspace and i dont have any problems now... i think you should pay more attention to it.
Here are some recent user-interface improvements we have made:
1. You can click and drag along the timescale to change the bar spacing.
2. You can double-click a chart drawing, such as a trendline in the middle to move it. Or you can double-click on the ends to adjust the end you double clicked on. If you hold the Control key while double-clicking, a copy of the chart drawing is made.
3. You can right-click on the text above a region to quickly access the studies and change the settings. There is also an Apply button on the settings window.
4. Interactive scaling is supported in all chart regions.

What is the monthly cost for SierraChart if I execute thru IB TWS, using IB data?
Most people, imo, want to (1) go to a website, (2) be able to quickly and clearly understand the price, (3) download the software and trade. Your website is like working one's way thru a maze.

It is 26 USD/month before discount, and you can see the pricing here:

Due to the nature of charting and trading software, market data and brokers, pricing is not a simple thing.
These are the setup instructions:

I just looked at some of your screenshots... I can't tell whether or not its actually possible to disable the horizontal scroll bars and the window title/caption bar on the chart windows, or if thats just how the screenshot was snapped (and/or cropped). I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but the pictures on the website give the impression that the software is less than ideal for traders who like to keep very low profile windows and layouts and try to squeak out every last usable pixel of screen real estate.
The windows just look big and bulky to me for some reason. Can this be customized and to what extent?
