Hello
I opened a SierraCharts account recently so that I can use Tradeguider's VSA Scanner (it only works with SierraCharts). I have been using Esignal 10.4 for 3 years with Interactive Brokers trading account. As I become familiar with sierracharts, it appears to have similar functionality to esignal for much lower cost but I may be overlooking a key difference(?) Are any of your tech support people familiar enough with esignal to point out differences as they relate to my requirements? It would be great if I can stop using esignal. Does Sierracharts meet my following requirements?:

1) real time data for Toronto stocks, all 3 US exchanges stocks, YM, ES, NQ, CL, GC, ZB, and forex.
2) data needs to include tick data
3) Indicators: moving averages, Keltner channel, hull MA, $ADD (NYSE advance minus decline)
4) must be able to program my own indicators if they are not available (volume, daily pivot, r1, r2, r3, s1, s2, s3, monthly and weekly pivots,15minute and 30 minute opening ranges, previous day open high low close, today open high low)
5) demo/paper trading account as well as cash trading
6) time (xx:xx:xx) and sales (price and size) with ability to filter by size

What is the total cost per month for all the above (data and software)?

Thank you

1. Sierra Chart does support various source of data for these markets.

We recommend using the Barchart data service for the stocks and futures:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/Barchart.com.php

For foreign exchange recommend using our own Forex data service:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/SCRealTimeFOREX.php

We are in the process of releasing a CME futures data service. More information about that can be found here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php

We also will be adding our own stock data data service, so when that becomes available, you can then switch from using the Barchart data service to our own.

Another thing we want to mention is that you may want to use a copy of Sierra Chart for Interactive Brokers, a copy with the Sierra Chart Forex data feed, and another copy to use with the Barchart Data service.

This can all be done by following the instructions here:
