Post From: Order Entries/ Order Fills cross SC instances...based on ONE ACCOUNT

am i able to see the pricelines for working and filled orders (chart trading) across several instances?
Yes but update to prerelease 1819 because some versions have been affected by an issue where historical order fills are not downloaded to a sub instance. This is resolved in the latest prerelease. Not sure if 1815 is affected or not though. And to make sure you have those fills in a sub instance, clear the order fills for the Trade Account following the instructions here:
Trade Activity Log: Clearing Trade Activity Data

Do that in the sub instances and reconnect to the data feed after in those instances.


While orders/fills for a specific symbol get shown on charts across different chartbooks of the same single SC instance, i cant see them on a chartbooks's chart belonging to another corresponding instance.

But that doesnt help me to full extent because the different instances don't seem to communicate among each others regarding positions/orders of this sinlge LMAX trading account.
In part this could be related to the issue we described above but you also need to understand how the Position Quantity is determined and make the appropriate adjustment:
LMAX Trading Service: How Current Trade Positions Are Determined


1. Positions, opened on the lmax web-interface dont show up on the charts.
Read the section about how the Position Quantity is determined. It must be related to this.

"Your order in Gold (Spot Mini) was rejected. The reason was: the quantity exceeds the maximum position limit for this instrument."
Does not make sense or this does not look like an LMAX error message and any message like this would be from the external trading service. In any case, refer to:
LMAX Trading Service: Order Quantities

A quantity of 1 in Sierra Chart is going to be LMAX .1. This is most likely the problem. So you need to use 10.

It really was a serious mistake for LMAX to choose fractional quantities. That should never never have been done.
