Respect to Sierra.
But the year is 2026 and it still feels like 2006.
Sierra Chart dominates futures charting on merit — with a dated UI, per-exchange data fees, and custom studies that require a Windows C++ toolchain. EventTrader is browser-native: live data free, alerts server-side, and an API you can call from anything.
Real-time by default
Live order books, trades and charts stream over WebSocket on every plan. There is no delayed-quote tier to upgrade out of.
Open the live order books →Alerts that don't expire
Server-side alerts — price, indicator and multi-condition AND/OR logic — evaluated on our infrastructure. Up to 1,000 per account, no expiry, no paid alert tier.
Set up your alerts →Tuatara Radar
For any symbol, a scored cross-asset association cluster plus a 0–100 news-heat reading with a published methodology. Free with an account.

- Custom studies mean ACSIL — a Windows C++ toolchain, pointer-heavy idioms, no cloud sharing
- Dated UI and a steep learning curve
- Exchange data feeds billed per source
What you'd actually be trading here
EventTrader is a prediction exchange: perpetual prediction markets on crypto, stocks and macro moves with no expiry, live central-limit order books, event markets on real-world outcomes, and a marketplace of trading bots you can clone instead of coding. Position risk is capped at what you put in — no liquidation engine, no margin calls. Server-side alerts and free webhook auto-execution come with every account.
- Free means free. No card required. Nothing auto-converts into a paid plan.
- We are not a charting terminal. EventTrader is a prediction exchange — markets, alerts and Radar; your charts can stay wherever you like them.
- No predictions sold. Markets are markets; we make no performance claims.
- Leave in one click. Withdraw on-chain any time, with a tx hash you can verify.
