As I've posted before, I am a big fan of MultiCharts... up until Monday. I am using Open ECry for my data source and as another thread stated, OEC did a fairly substantial upgrade that became mandatory last Friday. Apparently vendors, such as Multi and Sierra, were given plenty of notice and MC is now telling me maybe next week it will be compatible. Well, I obviously can't wait to see when MC might get around to it. The short story is this upgrade required charting co's to change their dll's to work better with the new OEC upgrade.

So, if you are using Sierra, I'd love to hear the good and bad. I am demo'ing it now, but you can only tell so much at first glance. My charts are basic, I just need a reliable and stable platform that does not lag in real-time.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Sierra!
This question is not just related to Sierra, but OEC in general, I suppose.

How much historical data are you able to pull from OEC for third-party charting apps like Sierra? Specifically, A. tick data and B. minute-bars...

Just wondering if it would be worth my while to drop TS and migrate to Sierra, assuming that the historical data is available.

Does OEC also have indices such as $TICK, $TRIN, $WPCVA (putcall), and $VIX available, or is their feed limited to established futures symbols only?
