Do I need to use sim then copy to accounts?
If you are asking if you use Simulation Mode and then copy those trades to your live account then the answer is "no". Whether you are in live or sim, the Order Allocation applies to the selected accounts for that mode. If I am trading 4 accounts...Do I need to have multiple windows open?
No, once you setup the Order Allocation for a chart, then it is set for that chart and you do not need additional windows. Can I set up multiple copiers? Same account just 5 in an aggressive section and another 5 in a non type?
Each chart has its own Order Allocation, so you can setup multiple options by having different charts. Do I have to set up trade copy for every pair? Example do I need to do it all for the es and then repeat the setup for the MES?
Yes, each setup is per chart. Also, is the trade account multiplier how many accounts I have running or is it: 3 x main account trading
The multiplier applies to the one account that is displayed at that time. It is a multiple of the main account being traded. For example, if you enter a trade for a quantity of 2, and you have a multiplier setup for an account of 3, then that account will get traded with a quantity of 6. Can I copy trade 8 in the MES and 2 in ES from one main account?
You would need to setup each chart to have the allocations as you want them. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
