I need three instances of Sierra Chart to open automatically when I open Sierra Chart. Each instance should open two different chartbooks. A different pair of chartbooks for each instance.

I need General Settings > General > New Instances commands:
- "Use This Instance Symbol Settings in New Instances When Started" to YES
- "Always Copy Configuration Files to New Instances When Started" to YES

It sounds like you are missing the entry for "Instances to Run on Startup". You need to enter the numbers of the sub-instances you want to automatically start. Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Instances to Run on Startup (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> New Instances)

That I have enabled and three instances are being opened at Sierra start.

What I'm asking for is that:
> Instance 1 should open the CL chartbook.
> Instance 2 should open the GC chartbook.
> Instance 3 should open the YM chartbook.
At startup.

Where do I enable this?

Within each Instance, you need to setup the option for that instance to open a specific chartbook. Refer to the following and the item below it:
General Settings Window: Open Files On Startup (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Startup)

Since you want these to be different, you cannot set the option for "Always Copy Configuration Files to New Instances When Started" to "Yes". It needs to be "No", otherwise you are overwriting that setting with the Main Instance setting for it and it will only open the chartbooks as set in the Main Instance.
