Hello guys Long time sierra user. I have about 100 guys i trade with, i put everyone on to sierra charts, and teach sierra charts etc. With trading prop firms we have to use Rithmic - i know Denali is better but it is what it is. But this could be used with all accounts, denali and others. Could you add an option where we could have a multi account login option so we don't have to run 4-5 installations of sierra charts to copy trade accounts between different props/Live brokers?? Currently - I trade with 4 different props - so i have to have 4 different installations of sierra open, and run my own self built multi installation trade copier to copy trade per prop. This could be useful aso for denali users, with multiple brokers. With ninja trade { i know ninja sucks} but at least you can add as many ninja/tradeovate accounts as you want and copy trade WITHIN that singular installation. It would be a MAJOR improvement to not have to run all these separate installations at the same time, it takes up alot of real estate. Your built in copier works great, but would be a massive improvement to add multi account logins within a singular installation to copy trade from. Would be a huge addition. Would you guys be open to this at all or no? |

ME TOO!! I have to run 13 SC installations to cover all use cases. This takes up at least 5x disk space due to data duplication (Terabytes of data!). Could be reduced to maybe 2-3 installations if we would have - multiple live data sources - multiple live accounts - concurrent use of sim and live accounts - selective deletion of sim trade data (i.e. only for selected sim accounts, not globally for all sim accounts) - each chartbook running in its own subprocess in one SC installation. Besides that, I want a convenient way for a 2-way-copy/merge of selected settings between different SC installations. It is also not understandable that we cannot get NASDAQ Indexes as a paid option, similar to CBOE Global Indexes, especially since the Nasdaq TotalView Data Feed already exists. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement the Indexes then. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-09-13 10:48:24

I agree The multiple data stuff is really tough and a good point, its adds up fast. I am hoping the SC crew would give this request a listen it would change everything for us and ALOT of people and I can continue to push sierra charts to everyone, its THE ONLY issue we have. This feature would solve alot of headaches! Otherwise Sierra is perfect. |

In one installation this is already supported for at least a decade: - multiple live data sources - multiple live accounts Although only from the same trading connection.- selective deletion of sim trade data (i.e. only for selected sim accounts, not globally for all sim accounts) This absolutely is supported and always has been. Refer to:Trade Activity Log: Clearing Trade Activity Data To say that this has not supported, makes no sense. It should be very obvious how to do this. - each chartbook running in its own subprocess This is really an impossibility and has no benefit, other than distributing the load from calculation and graphics. There is a longer-term plan to support a dedicated calculation thread within a Sierra Chart process.

Say i have 4 different Rithmic logins or 4 different "Denali" logins How can I login with each of those logins on a single installation? I swear you can't. Maybe im wrong. Can you detail how thats done?? I currently run a fully seperate installation for each Broker/Prop firm because thats the way it was said it had to be done for years. Sub instances dont work obviously because it runs on same login, you cant change that. These are all 4 different login ID/Passwords, so all different connections. I believe this cannot be done on a single Sierra charts installation. The goal is to have ALL 4 logged in at the same time, and be able to copy trade to all of them at the same time, like Ninja lets you. I knoe ninja sucks, but its a very convenient way to trade say 15/20 accounts at the same time. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-09-13 13:46:56

The support for multiple live data sources only extends to the use of the Denali feed plus any feed that is provided by the current connected trade account. If there is anything beyond that, I am not aware of it. In that case, please explain how to set this up. 'Multiple live accounts' should be replaced by 'multiple trade connections' on the list, to make it clearer what is needed. The requirement of having chartbooks running in its own subprocess goes along the same argument as having SC sub-instances. The problem with sub-instances is that they require their own data storage / disk footprint. If you enable market depth data, this becomes enormous! Bots/algos require a lot of processing time, especially if spreadsheets are also involved. If you take e.g. MNQ data, we can get a daily volume of 4M. At peaks this does overstrain the processing capacity of SC when running multiple bots/chartbooks. You cannot say that running chartbooks in their own subprocess is an "impossibility". This is simply not true. I have programmed similar things myself in applications. What you do with the graphics output is a different story. But the data processing/calculation can certainly be separated for each chartbook if you have a reasonable software architecture. |

We are not talking about sub instances - I am talking about say 4 different brokers with completely different Data connection ID/Password. The feature request - is to be able to login to ALL of those seperate Accounts - in ONE sierra installation - see all of those accounts - and able to trade ALL off them or any selection of them inside sierras trade copier. You cant run sub instances - because a subinstance requires the same data connection as the main one you are branching off of. I have 4 different Data logins and passwords. |

No chance in hell. What you are all asking for is an absolute mess. No chance in hell no chance in hell no chance in hell. Please go elsewhere and we do not want your business at all. Submitting orders, across all kinds of different connections. No chance in hell. No chance in hell. This is nothing more than an absolute mess and totally treacherous. And what is even the basis of this. What are these damn prop firms all about. Why the hell are these things even being used to begin with. We hear about all kinds of fraud and wrongdoing going on in these prop firms. Where people, are supposed to be paid and they do not get paid. At this point, people need to step back in, and ask what is all of this about why are we doing what we are even doing. From our perspective, this is reaching peak stupidity.

For me, I do not use prop firms. I use several brokers for different purposes and for diversification. If there will be no support for multiple trade connections, then we should at least get a tool that can 2-way-copy and/or 3-way merge the settings between SC installations/instances. Alternatively, move the settings file from binary format to some readable format like XML. |

Give us a chance to follow up on this and explain, our comments. And also explain, that Sierra Chart does support multiple market data connections, that are based on the DTC Protocol. This is definitely not Denali Exchange Data Feed specific. The same type of functionality can also be applied to order routing as well using the DTC Protocol, although it is more involved because communication is two ways and not just receive only, but that has not been developed. Although it would not come for a long time. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Ive already built a multi - installation trade copier it works well, its just having 4 or 5 installations open at the same time becomes a screen space issue. Its all I was asking for.
