Post From: Running Sierra on two computers with Logon error message

Thanks for the clarification, I misunderstood the instructions. It says here in your documentation: --------------------- 13. • In the instance of Sierra Chart which will be used as the client, this can be on the same or different computers, select Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings. 14. • Set the Service to DTC Service (sub instance). 15. • Set the Server Address to the IP Address of the computer running the instance of Sierra Chart where the DTC Server is enabled on. In the case of when connecting to the DTC server in another copy of Sierra Chart on the same computer, use this IP address: 127.0.0.1. If you are connecting across the Internet the IP address needs to be the public IP address for the computer. An easy way to find this is to run an Internet search for "what is my IP address". ---------------- My question is, since the second installation of Sierra won’t be on the same computer or across the internet but on another computer on my home network what IP address do I use. Can I still use 127.0.0.1, that is what it is set to when I select DTC Service (sub instance)? Also, I want to make sure that I am correct in thinking that I can set up two instances of Sierra on one or two computers, either on a network, or by paying the additional connection fee and have all trades be directed to one Interactive Brokers account. As I said in my first post, both long and short trades from each instance will be going into only one IB trading account. That is possible, isn’t it? |
