Prior knowledge and skills
To get the most of it, some level of Sierra Chart and Python experience is recommended.
That said, you do not need to be an expert python programmer to start using the tools.
It is intended to be accessible to python users that might be using python at various levels but don’t consider themselves professional/expert programmers so to speak. These might be hobby and professional trading strategy developers, data scientists, quants, etc. One of the objectives of the early access it to gauge how good of a job we are doing of this so we are happy to have users of all levels
Technical pre-requisites
Windows - we do our testing on windows 11. Windows 10 should work just fine too
Sierra Chart - version 2448 or higher
Python 3.10 or higher - we develop and test with python 3.10
