Hello,

I wonder if I can run two or more instances of SC on one machine each logged-in to a different account.
I am aware that I would have to have more than one installation of SC into different directories, SC1, SC2, etc.

So if I do that I wonder if the data feed I subscribe to would apply to all the instances (I'm planning two) or if I would have to subscribe for each additional instance.

Thank you,

Dem

Hello again,

I'm now running two instances of TWS from Interactive Brokers, one for each account and two separate instances of Sierra Chart, each connected through the API to their respective TWS.

I have a chart of ES-201509-GLOBEX open. IN chart settings, the symbol for the Sierra Chart exchange data feed to which I'm subscribed is ESU15. Below it the symbol for IB is ES-201509-GLOBEX.
Orders entered in the chart show up in the corresponding TWS as live orders.
The chart shows an M after the name of the contract.

However the chart does not update. It's stuck at 5/28. Attempting at erasing and downloading data result in an error message (Download Failed, in red).

This is the relevant section of the log:

Can you find what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dem

The symbol of the chart must only be set to ES-201509-GLOBEX. ESU15 is not valid to be used with the Interactive Brokers service.
