Post From: Trade multiple symbols at once from a single "Spreadsheet System for Trading" strategy

Thank you tomgilb!

To above point:

Q: 1. Can one set the spreadsheet system to trade the same symbol with the same strategy but on 2 different times frames?
A: No, because they would interact. You'd need two separate brokerage accounts to trade the same symbol simultaneously.

So:

I understand that one can't trade same symbol on the same spreadsheet unless each strategy (diff. timeframes / same symbol) would be setup on separate Chart / Sheet#, correct?

For example:
Chart 1/Sheet1 - is trading Instrument 1 on TimeFrameA and it is sending orders to say Rithmic Execution Data via Trading Service with FCM 1
Chart 2/Sheet2 - is trading Instrument 2 on TimeFrameB and it is sending orders to say CQG Execution Data via Trading Service with FCM 2

Q: where can I setup these parameters so each of these systems can send orders to separate trading services/FCMs/Accounts, please?
To my limited knowledge, one can select only 1 trading service to connect from Sierra at the time?

Q2: I also have 2 separate trading accounts, with the same FCM (sub-account)
So how could I setup SC to send orders separately via one trading service, to the same FCM but different accounts?

Many thanks!
