This is a quick overview of some upcoming development we are working on. The last thread we started for this had SMS messaging and text-to-speech alerts as the next items we were going to be working on, but we just had to allocate time to other things and could not get to them. The main reason these things were not done is because they involve a lot of various details and connections to external services and require a lot of attention to get done. The primary next items we will be working on are trading improvements. Here is a list of items we are going to be working on during the next month: -Server side Bracket orders where supported by external trading services -Multiple simulation accounts -enhancements to Attached Orders -an option to hold a Target Limit order on the client-side until touched. -SMS messages for alerts. -Text-to-speech alerts. -Sierra Chart for a while now has supported customizing menu items. We are going to be releasing a translation file for the Czech Republic language to translate the menu items. -S&P and Dow premiums with the Sierra Chart data feed. In general, we are going to try to catch up on all of the trading related development. We are going to be expanding support also for the DTC protocol to make it is broad-based as possible. This is more longer-term oriented. While we do our best to get things done as soon as we can. Please do not rely on this post as a promise in regards to when these items will be completed.

This has been released: -an option to hold a Target Limit order on the client-side until touched. One thing that worries about a feature like this, is we have to be very careful to ensure an order does not get sent more than once. So we need to add another safety later. Potentially a feature like this is very dangerous if it is not implemented right or if there a code change which takes away the check that an order has already been sent. Therefore although it is currently implemented correctly according to our testing and code review, we recommend not enabling Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Hold Limit Attached Orders on Client Side Until Touched until we put another safety layer in later today.

In regards to post #4, 4 layers of safety have now been added to the code to prevent a target order being held from being submitted more than once. And there is now another layer of safety to prevent any other order from being submitted twice. The only exception to this is when an order is reactivated which can happen with Attached Orders which fill or are canceled and have to be resent if the parent order fills again or when a trade service does not support modifying an order. These changes will be out in version 1162. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

The next item we are working on is server-side bracket orders . The first service that will support this will be Interactive Brokers followed by CQG. We expect this will be out Thursday or Friday evening for Interactive Brokers, if there are no unexpected complications. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

In regards to the server side bracket orders, it is necessary for there to be both a Target and Stop order to use the server side bracket order if the trading service you are using supports server side brackets. It is not going to be supported to have a parent order and only a Stop or only a Target order attached. There needs to be both a Stop and Target order attached to the parent order. Otherwise, the individual Stop order or Target order would be held back until the parent order fills like it is now. If you do not want to use a Target order and only a Stop, then we suggest still specifying a Target Attached Order but keeping it far away from the parent order price.

We are releasing version 1165. It has server side bracket order support for Interactive Brokers. To use this, you need to enable Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Server-Side OCO and Bracket Orders. This feature has not been well tested, so please test it on an IB paper trading account first. Although since Interactive Brokers is managing the bracket order, there really is not much functionality to it within Sierra Chart. When Sierra Chart is managing the bracket order on the client-side, there is a considerable amount of more sophistication behind the management of the orders compared to when 3 orders are merely transmitted to the trading service. We really expect there to be no problems at all with this feature. Up until about 2010, Sierra Chart did support server-side brackets with IB. At that time, we implemented our own Bracket order functionality which worked across all trading services. While we still supported the server-side OCO, the child orders were held back on the client-side until the parent order filled. Next we will be adding bracket order support for CQG followed by DTC and OEC. In the case of CTS, we have contacted them about this, we would like some further improvements on the CTS side before we implement this. We will be finishing up with bracket orders for these other services next week. The next item for us to complete is multiple simulation accounts. You will be able to have up to 100 simulation accounts. While we have talked about adding this functionality for a long time, we apologize for the long delay. We would like to point out we were able to deliver this without opening a brokerage like our competitor claims they need to. And force you to trade with them to get this functionality.

This has been released in 1167: -Multiple simulation accounts
The number of trade simulation accounts is set through Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Number of Simulation Accounts. Specify a number between 1 to 100. The main reason for multiple simulation accounts is that if you are performing back testing with different parameters, you can run each back test in a separate trade simulation account and have all of the results saved for review within the Trade Activity Log. You can also run multiple trading systems at the same time with real-time data for the same symbol, if each of them is using a different simulated trading account.

By the end of this week we expect server side bracket orders to be supported with the following services: CTS CQG OEC We have already released server-side bracket order support for DTC but this of course needs to be supported by those services using DTC. After this is done, we will next get to text-to-speech alerts. And we continue to work on the new spreadsheets. As well as other development.

This is an update about bracket order support for other trading services. We definitely should be finishing up with OEC bracket order support next week. CQG is being delayed due to a problem we found that CQG is resolving. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

We continue to do our best to catch up on development which we have been behind on. Currently we are doing development with the Volume by Price and the Volume Area Lines studies. This is in addition to development with DTC protocol, spreadsheet development and other development. We are adding support for composite symbols . These are symbols which are derived from 2 or more symbols. Initially this is going to be used to calculate the stock index futures premium to the corresponding cash indexes. This data will be available with the SC Exchange Data Feed. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Another item we are working on is 2 digit year codes for CME data from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. At the server level, they are only single-digit. We are converting these to 2 digit years.

Volume by Price: The volume by Price study has been enhanced to provide the functionality of Volume Value Area Lines. In version 1231 of there are several new Input settings for the Volume by Price study. The documentation is in the process of being updated to explain them.

One area of development we have started on now is building a new ToolBar and removing the status bar. The Data Feed connection status will be shown on the new ToolBar. The new ToolBar will be called a Control Bar and will also have a drop-down list box to quickly change the symbol of a chart when symbols have been added to the Associated Watch List. The existing ToolBar and status bar are part of Windows and the Microsoft development environment we use. Programming wise they are difficult to work with, have limitations, and have various problems. So we are happy to finally remove them and build our own from scratch.
