Sierra Chart gives you control.
EdgeDepth does the remembering for you.
Sierra Chart is professional trading infrastructure: direct feeds, futures execution, local data control, deep customization. For crypto perps, EdgeDepth is the simpler bet: we capture the market server-side around the clock, so replay needs no local depth files, and the latest 415 days answer questions in plain English, in a browser.
Local data control and searchable server-side memory.
Sierra Chart gives professionals extensive control of feeds, files, routing and replay. EdgeDepth carries Binance and Hyperliquid live, then makes the continuously recorded Binance USDT-M record searchable and replayable.
| Capability | EDGEDEPTH | SIERRA CHART |
|---|---|---|
| Live venue and BBO data | High-resolution order flow in the browser. 847 Binance USDT-M crypto and TradFi perpetuals, plus every Hyperliquid perpetual with native-rate per-symbol Binance bookTicker plus sub-second per-coin Hyperliquid BBO, an ultra-high-definition GPU depth heatmap, real-time mode and big-trade bubbles. | Live depth resolution, history and update behavior depend on the selected service, feed, symbol and stored files. |
| Primary job | A search engine over recorded microstructure. A browser-based search engine for recorded Binance USDT-M market microstructure, with every Hyperliquid perpetual live, permanent event memory and full-depth replay. | Professional charting, futures data, execution, local data control, and custom systems. |
| Replay inputs | We already recorded it. No files to keep. We record the Binance replay universe server-side and continuously, so you select a timestamp or event and it replays with no local depth files to maintain. Hyperliquid history is actively backfilling into its research layer. | Chart Replay uses local intraday files. Market-depth replay requires depth data saved for the replay period, either recorded or downloaded where supported. |
| Recorded universe | Depth and tape, captured for you. 847 recorded Binance USDT-M crypto and TradFi perpetuals depth, per-symbol bookTicker, trades, liquidations and analytical context are available for the rolling 90 days Pro window. | Sierra Chart supports cryptocurrency market data and market depth. Replay coverage depends on the feed, service, symbol, local files, and recorded or downloadable depth availability. |
| Seekable order book | Seek anywhere, inspect the book. Jump to any recorded moment and read the reconstructed DOM. Deep-seek DOM state manually verified across multiple pairs. | Market depth can replay when the required depth data is present for that date and time. |
| Execution and customization | Built for study, not order routing. Focused on research, study and replay. Every Hyperliquid perpetual is live. Binance TradFi-linked instruments are USDT-settled perps, not direct CME, COMEX, NYMEX, equities-exchange or broker execution feeds. | Strong futures execution, data routing, local control, and deep customization through studies and custom systems. |
| Research access | Ask the whole record a question. Describe a setup in plain English and count every time it happened across 847 Binance USDT-M crypto and TradFi perpetuals, with a replay of every match. Hyperliquid and cross-exchange research are in the works. | The user controls chart files, depth files, downloads, and the replay workspace. |
| EdgeDepth access | The terminal is free. Pro is $240/yr (about $20/mo) or $29/mo. Pay securely by card through Stripe, or save 10% when paying in Bitcoin. | Sierra Chart packages and exchange-data charges vary. Check current vendor terms for the intended feed and market. |

Local control versus searchable server-side memory
Sierra Chart gives the user extensive control over data files, routing, studies, and execution.
EdgeDepth takes responsibility for capture, archive discovery, browser replay, and plain-English search across everything it recorded.
Two things you don't have to build yourself.
No depth files to record, download or keep.
Sierra Chart replays the depth data you recorded or downloaded for that period. EdgeDepth records 847 Binance perp markets continuously, server-side: pick a timestamp inside the last 90 days and it replays with the book, tape and liquidations synchronized, nothing to prepare or maintain.
▸ Replay a real event, no accountSearch the whole 415-day record in plain English.
Describe your setup once and see every time it happened, how often it went on to work, and how far it went against you first: not three cherry-picked wins. Every match opens in replay, and an alert can watch for the next one.
▸ Test a setup freeEvery Hyperliquid perp is live in the terminal today; its history is still being backfilled, so replay and search currently cover the recorded Binance markets.

Sierra Chart vs EdgeDepth, plainly.
Can Sierra Chart record and replay market depth?
Yes. Sierra Chart can record market depth and replay it when the required depth data is available for the selected period. Its documentation also describes historical depth downloads for specified exchanges and data feeds.
Does Sierra Chart support cryptocurrency and Binance market depth?
Sierra Chart documents cryptocurrency market data, including market depth and Binance coverage. Historical depth replay depends on the feed, service, symbol, and recorded or downloadable files available to the user.
What is Sierra Chart stronger at?
Sierra Chart is stronger for CME and other futures execution, direct control of data and routing, local files, deep customization, and professional trading infrastructure.
Are EdgeDepth Nvidia, crude oil, gold, and silver markets direct exchange feeds?
No. They are TradFi-linked perpetuals on Binance USDT-M and settle in USDT. EdgeDepth records and researches their Binance microstructure 24/7, while every Hyperliquid perpetual is live under Hyperliquid venue rules. Sierra Chart remains the appropriate choice for direct CME, COMEX, NYMEX, equities-exchange and professional execution feeds.
What does EdgeDepth simplify?
EdgeDepth takes responsibility for server-side Binance USDT-M capture, carries every Hyperliquid perpetual live, and provides browser replay, permanent event memory, archive discovery and a research engine available directly, by API and through MCP. Users do not maintain local depth files for that workflow.
