Post From: SierraChart Data with Execution Through Gain Capital

SC's architecture doesn't match reality. Brokers, data, and platforms (charting/execution) are all very different and distinct entities. What if my broker didn't provide any data, or provided crappy data like Interactive Brokers does? Then I simply wouldn't be able to use SierraChart?

Most traders that have been at this a while use a separate data feed (e.g. Rhythmic, DTN, CQG...), multiple platforms (e.g. IRT, MarketDelta, Jigsaw, Ninja...), and have one or more brokers. I can't be the first to have mentioned this, and I'm not trying to be an a-hole here, it's just really surprising how impractical the design is.
