i have accounts with both of the above, and I use amp mainly for futures on my main Sierra charts. if i want to keep that going and add interactive brokers, so i can trade forex too, can i just start a new instance and set up ibkr on that or do i need a completley new installation of sierra to enable that?

You need a separate installation. A "Sub-Instance" started by selecting "File >> New Instance" connects to the main instance and therefore is connected to whatever account the main instance is connected to.

Refer to the following for how to install a second installation of Sierra Chart:
Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart

As long as you install the additional Sierra Chart on the same computer and you do not have more than 3 total separate installations, then there are no additional fees.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
