Post From: SierraChart Data with Execution Through Gain Capital

I'd like to have my real-time data provided by SierraChart (which I currently pay for and am happy with) but have my execution go thru my broker, Gain Capital. This seems like it should be straightforward but I can't figure out how to decouple the data from the execution. As far as I can tell, in Global Settings > Data/Trade Service Settings, you can only select one connection at a time; i.e. there's not a separate connection for 1. data feed, and 2. order execution. I don't want to use Gain's data because they impose symbol limits and throttling. Moreover, many of their symbols are named differently than SC's, which means that it's not feasible to switch back and forth because I get errors on tons of charts saying "Symbol is unknown. Click for symbol information. FIX reject reason: Unknown contract" I'm new to SC so I may be missing something really obvious here... does anybody know how to do this? Thank you.
