- Can I use multiple instances while using individual TWS brokerage accounts? And if so, let's say I want to run a total of 8 different instances/TWS accounts, is this possible/recommended?
Yes this is possible. We are not sure though if you are talking about multiple TWS instances or multiple accounts in a single TWS instance.


- Is it necessary for me to pay the additional $20.00 USD to support each new instance within one SC download?
If you are connecting to different instances of Trader Workstation, then yes you do have to pay this for each instance but the maximum is 3 so you are going to need additional Sierra Chart accounts if you want to run eight instances.



-Also, if I can run multiple instances, does SC offer a dashboard that would relay account updates for current positions in market?
Only if all of the trading accounts are contained within a single TWS main account/instance.
