Hi Sierra,
I have recently began to use a 2nd instance of sierra chart.
I chart trade and use bracket orders from the chart.

today, I put in an order from the chart in the second instance.
It was rejected; the log reads:

DTC client #1. Sierra Chart. 127.0.0.1 | New order rejected. DTC client order ID: 958.123 | 2018-04-24 05:57:07 *

Sim Trade is OFF. But this a real nuisance.
So I went into IB and did the bracket order manually.
I could not have done this in a fast market.

Then, the orders appeared on the chart.
I tried to modify the profit taker by moving in on the chart and it wouldnt let me do it - I had chart trade mode on. So I had back into IB and modify.

I am visual so I need to be able to enter from the second instance right off the screen

with thanks
