Post From: Chartbooks or Instances

No you don't need 24 instances for your 24 cores.
Since you monitor 4 markets, you can use 4 instances or less.
It depends of the workload of your 4 chartbooks.

Open your Task Manager => Performance Tab, right clic on the graph => Change graph to => Logical Processors, and check on which core runs Sierra Chart (on my screenshot, it is the first one, core 0)
Ideally, this core workload should not exceed 50-60% of its maximum during rest time because during high market activity (like during the NY open) it can rise 10-30%.
You don't want your core to be overloaded because it can cause latency.

My rule of thumb is when my core is loaded to more than 60%, it is usually time to create a new instance and to distribute the workload.

When using multiple instances, there are a few drawbacks like :
- If you do a Market Replay, you can't have a perfect sync between instances.
- Some shortcuts like Recenter Trade DOM Scales don't work across instances.
