Post From: Switching from live to sim mode issue

Hi there,

I am trading one market live and another one on Sim. They happen to be ZC(CBOT) and CL(NYMEX) respectively.
Today I had open orders on both, thus I had to switch between modes in order to check each mode open orders.
While trading the live one, I had a stop loss placed on the Sim account that I thought had gotten hit. When I switched back to Sim mode, the stop loss appeared and got hit where price was at that exact moment. With that, two questions:

1) Does Sim mode stops get "frozen" if you switch to live mode, and if they were to get triggered they only do so if you switch back to it?

2) I am assuming that in order to trade both Sim and Live and avoid having to switch between modes, I might have to run another instance of SC. Can I use Denali on one instance on Live and on the 2nd instance on Sim?

Best Regards,
