So it seems like there's issues with people moving orders and things, and with lag.
I'm not going to mess around with this. I've used WINE before with Linux and had several problems. While it may be a solution it isn't one I'm going to risk real world capital with.
Sticking with a canonical Windows system as your hardware sounds like a reasonable approach to me. Also, if you're planning on using competitors to Sierra Chart's data and order routing services--IBKR, CQG or Rithmic--you may want to reconsider. If you really want to play it safe, a canonical system probably means running Sierra Chart's own Denali and Teton services. Anthony (the Owner & Creator of Sierra Chart) wrote on this thread: No performance is not going to be excellent. You will absolutely have degraded performance in some areas when Sierra Chart is not directly running on its native operating system and the native operating system at this time is still Windows. Never believe you are going to get better performance. It is not going to be true.
And yet the SC web site recommends exactly the approach which the Chief Engineer has harshly criticized. Is it any wonder that SC customers are confused with such mixed messages coming from Sierra Chart? From Sierra Chart Web Site (Software Download): Using Sierra Chart on a Mac
Sierra Chart is not currently designed to run natively on the Mac operating system. However, there is a solution to this. Follow the general steps below to use Sierra Chart on the Mac OS. Install Codeweavers Crossover for the Mac on your Mac. Create a Windows 7 64bit bottle using this Crossover program. Install and use Sierra Chart under this installation. |
