What it does
Sierra Chart is desktop charting and technical-analysis software with simulation and connections to supported data or trading services. Subscriptions differ in advanced studies and external connectivity. A 21-day account trial includes delayed exchange data with limits on chart history.
Choose connectivity before advanced studies
| Package | Monthly price | Connection and study scope |
|---|---|---|
| Base Standard | US$26 | Standard studies; no external-service or Denali connections |
| Base Advanced | US$36 | Advanced studies; no external-service or Denali connections |
| Integrated Standard | US$36 | External connections with standard studies |
| Integrated Advanced | US$46 | External connections with advanced studies |
| Integrated Advanced with Market by Order | US$56 | Adds Market by Order data functionality |
External services include Interactive Brokers, CQG and Rithmic. Longer purchases receive discounts.
The advanced packages include studies such as Numbers Bars and historical market-depth graphs. Real-time futures data also incurs exchange fees, separate from the software subscription.
What the trial lets you inspect
Create an account to begin 21 days. Chart history is capped at ten intraday days or 186 daily bars, and external services are unavailable during the trial. Sierra Chart provides delayed exchange data and a simulated-trading service for evaluation. At expiry, its Free Mode does not retain the included trial data services, so continued regular use needs paid service time.
