Post From: Question about Sierra Exchange Data Feed

Hello, I think I understand this correctly, but want to verify something so as not to mess up my live trading.

Here is the scenario: 1st instance of Sierra (and I assume that means also it has to be the first one started if I restart my computer)is connected to Interactive Brokers but also is using the Sierra Real Time Exchange data feed. It is running a live automated system.

Now, I start a second instance of Sierra (to do backtesting using the Sierra historical data and/or to do something like using the IB paper acct to test the IB Gateway). Can I safely assume that starting this second instance will in no way effect the first instance (where the system is running)?

Thank you.
