Hi, I am trying to figure out how to copy orders using the "order allocation" from a live account to a sim account. However when have live trading on (trade > simulated mode on is not checked) there is no option to choose sim from the drop down or select it in the order allocation setup screen. If I check the simulation mode, then there is no option for my live account from the order allocation setup screen. Is there a way to do this by using 2 different instances and having one on live and one on sim? Or any other way to set this up? Thanks |

There is not a way to do this using the built-in "Order Allocation to Trade Account" option.

Okay, I have a 3rd party tool that will allow me to copy trades, but I still need one chart sim and one chart on live. How can I achieve this? |

This can not be done within a single instance of Sierra Chart. You would need to have 2 installations to do this. Refer to the following for how to install a second Sierra Chart: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart As long as that second installation is on the same computer, then there are no additional fees from us for this. We do not know how the third party tool you have works, so you will need to check with the developers of that system.
