Have you ever considered having a section of the forum that is for paid support?
No, but we will consider this.

Also, in regards to your question about how you want to use Interactive Brokers TWS and trade the same contract in the same account from two different instances of Sierra Chart.


Normally this will not work with any other trading service other than Interactive Brokers. It should work properly with Interactive Brokers as long as each instance of Sierra Chart is using a different Instance Client ID and they actually have to. This particular setting is an Interactive Brokers specific setting in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings.

And if you use the order fill calculated position, it should work just right.

What happens is that only the order fills for the orders entered from a particular Sierra Chart instance connected to TWS, will be sent to that instance. It will not receive fills from orders entered from other instances. This is important because this will accomplish what you want when combined with the Order Fill Calculated Trade Position.

We will document everything we are mentioning here and more thoroughly either today or tomorrow.

So you can do what you want but we just wonder if it is all going to work just right. It should as we understand it but we do not have any direct long-term experience with it.
