I'm looking to have three instances of Sierra Chart up, each with its own datafeed (one on CQG, the other on Rithmic, and the last on Teton CME Order Routing). I'm assuming the best way to do this would be one main instance and two subinstances? When I try to do this I'm having problems with both live data and full depth of book. When I load the other two subinstances I sometimes get data and level 2 depth, and sometimes I don't. Right now, the main instance is on CQG, the first subinstance is on Rithmic, and while CQG has full depth + live data (Denali data), Rithmic just shows the last traded price but no depth on the DOM. If I load the third instance with Teton, I get neither live data nor live depth. "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds" is set to yes on all three of them. All three instances are using the same Data folder. Would this cause a problem with read/write access? I don't want to copy hundreds of gigabytes of redundant historical intraday data if I can help it. I'm basically trying to trade live capital, audition for a legit prop firm, and then toy around with a funding firm as a hedge (via TopStep), and don't want to have to constantly switch between datafeeds or miss trades. The idea is to have a separate instance of Sierra Chart on three different monitors. What is the best way to accomplish 3 separate data feeds on three instances? Am I missing some settings, should I separate data folders, etc. If there's a guide out there that I missed please point me to it. Thank you. Edit: I don't think copy-trading is an option either, is it? When I go to "Order Allocation for Trade Accounts" I'm only able to see the accounts available for that specific data feed, so I would assume not. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-06-30 02:04:57
