Hi! I want to use multiple instance's of SC while using 1 SC data feed, currently using CME Group Exchange. Say I want to get a second, third, etc... instance of SC, my doubts are: - 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? - Is it necessary for me to pay the additional $20.00 USD to support each new instance within one SC download? -Also, if I can run multiple instances, does SC offer a dashboard that would relay account updates for current positions in market? If running new instances within one SC download is not recommended, what is the best possible route we should take in regards to this? Thank you.

- 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. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

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. We would be using 2 Sierra Chart accounts and it would be ideal to use a single TWS instance for each account, that would be including 3 equities for each account. Only if all of the trading accounts are contained within a single TWS main account/instance. What would be the most appropriate window to view as an acting dashboard? Thx

So you are referring to using multiple instances of TWS. You can then connect a separate instance of Sierra Chart each of those and each instance would need to use a separate Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed connection. What would be the most appropriate window to view as an acting dashboard? Thx Since you are using multiple TWS instances there would not be a way to centrally view Trade Position data in one location.
