Comparison

NexTick360 vs BoostYourCharts Journal

A Sierra Chart-native journal with live sync, statistics regression-tested against Sierra Chart's own output, and a genuinely clever rule-replay tool. If you live in Sierra Chart, it is built closer to your platform than anything else.

We are a different shape of product, not a better version of the same one. Below is where each of us fits, written so that someone who already uses BoostYourCharts Journal would recognise it.

The short answer

Choose BoostYourCharts Journal if

  • You trade in Sierra Chart and intend to keep doing so — the whole product assumes it
  • You want your statistics to reconcile to the decimal against Sierra Chart's own Trade Statistics output
  • You want to reopen a trade on your own Sierra Chart layout in one click
  • Price is the deciding factor — they are a fraction of ours and the product is honest about what it is

Choose NexTick360 if

  • You do not trade in Sierra Chart, or might not always
  • You are on a prop evaluation and want the firm's actual rules in the product
  • You want the habits costing you money found without setting a rule for each one first
  • You want your strategy graded automatically rather than tagged by hand

The difference that decides it

What it can see, and what it asks of you

Everything in their product requires you to know what to look for first. You choose the rule the What-If Lab replays; you set the guardrail that alerts you; you tag the mistake that gets costed. It is an excellent instrument and it measures precisely. It does not tell you anything you did not ask it. That is the difference, and it is worth being clear-eyed about the price gap it has to justify.

Coach · Nic
Nic's read, with three findings A coaching panel headed "Nic's read", covering the last ninety days. A short written summary says the pattern costing this trader most is holding trades under two minutes, which averaged minus two hundred and eighty-four dollars each against plus ninety-six on everything else. Beneath it, three findings each carry a dollar cost: trades held under two minutes at minus two thousand four hundred and ten, marked new; money lost in the nine to ten o'clock hour at minus one thousand one hundred and eighty, marked as getting worse; and stops widened on losing trades at minus eight hundred and sixty. NIC’S READ LAST 90 DAYS The pattern costing you most is holding trades under two minutes — those averaged −$284 each against +$96 on everything else. Your win rate is fine; the hold time is not. Trades held under 2 min: ($284) a trade vs $96 elsewhere NEW −$2,410 You bleed money in the 09:00–10:00 hour WORSE −$1,180 You widen stops on losers — 3 times −$860 Open Coach for the full read
Nobody asked for any of these three. That is the difference in one picture — their lab answers the question you bring it, and this arrives already carrying the question.

Bringing your history with you

Export the Trade Activity Log from Sierra Chart and import it. Duplicates are matched on content, so re-importing never doubles anything.

Orders and fills come in. Nothing goes back. It cannot place, modify, cancel or route an order — not as a policy, the capability does not exist in the software.

Fourteen days is enough to find out

Import your history and the engine has something to read immediately. If it finds nothing worth knowing about you, do not pay us.
