1) correctly replay trading Level 1 (market buy/sell) and Level 2 input (limit ask/bid) of past time periods (e.g., yesterday or the day before or earlier today) and allow me to enter buy/sell orders ?

2) allow me to write my own indicators (as known in NinjaTrader or Tradestation platforms) or studies (as known in ThinkOrSwim platform) for supportig my live trading ?

2a) can the indicators I develop reference Level 1 and Level 2 data ?
2b) is C++ the language to use ? any other languages supported ?

3) allow me to write my own strategies (as known in NinjaTrader or Tradestation platforms) for entering trading orders for live, simulated, or replay trading ?
2c) is C++ the language to use ? any other languages supported ?

3a) can the strategies I develop reference Level 1 and Level 2 data ?

You can but you wont get the same coding assistance(code creation(post a request for an indicator and the platform staff will create it for you), code debugging, etc) from SC support as you would with Tradestation or NinjaTrader platforms.

You will be pretty much dependent on the help of other traders if your lucky or expensive "For Hire" coders.

Also very important since it seems you will be creating strategies.
Sierra Chart does not have its own built in IDE for coding and it does not provide a way to optimize input variables like Tradestation or NinjaTrader platforms.
