I'm not very experienced yet with SierraChart (which IMO is SUPER software!), but a live trading problem today confuses me. Is it a bug?
I'm using 1468 on Windows 10.
Main instance (instance 1) is connected to GainFutures prod.gainfutures.com. Trade Simulation Mode is Off.
Second instance (instance 2) is connected to instance 1 (127.0.0.1). Trade Simulation Mode is Off.
As shown in the attaches 20161005_Instance2_SimFills.txt, a live-account order placed in instance 2 was filled by Gain but was applied to Sim. The trade service log shows the "confusion" that resulted.
This seems impossible. :)
Thanks,
Dale

We do see how this can happen and it has to do with an internal order ID conflict between the main instance and Instance 2 in this case.

We have put in a patch to prevent this kind of problem.
