Post From: Notice: Sierra Chart/Barchart Exchange Data Feed

One thing we want to make clear, is Sierra Chart has the ability to share market data among multiple installed instances of Sierra Chart on the same system. Sierra Chart is one particular program that you use on your computer. You can open multiple charts which receive data from a single source data feed. In order to distribute processing load, Sierra Chart supports multiple processes and this is accomplished through separate sub installations. And these sub installations receive data from a main instance. So this is no different, then when data is being fed from one feed into multiple charts. What if Sierra Chart operated as a single process and could connect to multiple different trading services in a single instance, and used separate threads for groups of chart windows. So instead, there are multiple processes of Sierra Chart running which access data from a main process. Effectively though this is no different than data being shared with the same address space. Sierra Chart is still used by one single person on a single workstation. And it is a single application. This is no different with IQ Feed where it is able to provide data to multiple programs on the same system. This is no different than Interactive Brokers through the TWS API where it is able to provide data to multiple programs. To use that sharing functionality, refer to: Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance When sharing data between instances of Sierra Chart which are connected to different Services, follow the instructions here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierra%20Chart So we question, whether the multiple connections are even needed for many of you who are even using them. The second link above, is more advanced. But it does work well. Now under no circumstances is data to to be shared off of a computer to another computer. And newer versions of Sierra Chart strictly prohibit that from happening. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
