Since you are using the option File >> New Instance this gives you a second instance of Sierra Chart, but it gets the data and places trades through the main instance. It does this by using the DTC protocol, which is why the only option in the Sub-Instance for the connected service is DTC - Sub Instance and you can not change it. You can have as many of these sub-instances running at one time as you want, and it will not impact your data connections, as there is only one instance getting the data and then serving it out to the other sub-instances. The only reason to do something different is if you want to trade 2 different accounts with different strategies. In this case, you would want to have a separate Sierra Chart installation in order to connect one Sierra Chart to one trading account and the other Sierra Chart to the other trading account. In this case, you would be making multiple connections to your data service, so you might need to have a second connection available. From what you have said, it sounds like the first situation is all you need. In which case, we do not know why you needed to get a second Username/Password from AMP, or what that is for in this particular case.
