Hi, I am setting up a new computer and want to have 2 versions of Sierra chart on it. I will use the same login in Sierra but the data feed, chartbooks, settings will all be different. I downloaded the first version and set it all up. I did a 2nd installation through the website, and it appears when I open it that is using the same icon as my first version (even though there are 2 different folders)? How can I separate these? Thanks |

The icon will look the same, but they should be named differently - you can always change the names to suit your needs. But if the icons are both opening the same installation, then you need to delete one of them and then setup an icon for the installation that does not have an icon. The easiest way to setup a desktop icon for a Sierra Chart installation is to open the software for that installation (by going to the folder and running the "SierraChart_64.exe" file) and once Sierra Chart is up, select "Global Settings >> Create Desktop Shortcut". Refer to the following: Global Settings Menu: Create Desktop Shortcut (Global Settings menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
