I’m running Sierra Chart on macOS via CrossOver and wanted to share a small solution I built, since SierraStep unfortunately doesn’t work in this setup. I also didn’t want to run a full Windows VM with Parallels just for this purpose. So I wrote a small Python bridge that connects to Sierra Chart using the DTC protocol, reads the trade fills in real time, and forwards them as market orders to TopstepX. The setup works extremely well: • Trade fills are read directly from Sierra via DTC • Orders are forwarded instantly to TopstepX • Execution is very fast and the script uses almost no system resources • Current positions are queried every 5 seconds and printed to the terminal • If the connection to Sierra Chart or TopstepX drops, I immediately receive a push notification on my iPhone via Pushover So far the bridge has been very stable and surprisingly fast, even though it’s just a lightweight Python script running locally on macOS. For anyone running Sierra Chart through CrossOver on Mac, this might be a simple alternative to running a Windows VM just to mirror trades. |
