Following on from my previous comment.

Sierra Chart make a very good point.
All these services are a waste of money in the long run, as they effectively charge you for using a simulator, which is usually free. They make their money from failed traders, not successful ones.

The reason I still use them is that they provide a third party risk management framework.
It forces me to work hard to stay within strict parameters.
One of the hardest things with trading is self-risk-management. It is better having a third party doing it.
At the moment I do not have an alternative. So I have to use them.


However, as stated by Sierra Chart, the same services could be achieved via their own platform.
I think all the suggestions Sierra Chart have made including additional risk management, a leader-board for performance, a potential Sierra Chart investment fund etc. are excellent and I look forward to seeing and using them in the future.

There needs to be a more ethical way for good traders to find funding, and perhaps Sierra Chart could provide this.
