Hi

I currently have 2 Copies of Sierra Chart each with a 2nd instance (4x Sierra Charts Running)

They are set like this:
C:/SierraChart all data for both the original and C:\SierraChart\SierraChartInstance_2 I have data stored to D:/Data

C:/SierraChart2 all data for both the original and C:\SierraChart2\SierraChartInstance_2 I have data stored to D:/Data2

Is this correct or should i be splitting the Data lookup locations for the instances also? or Could i have all 4 SierraChart Copies just referencing D:/Data

Thanks

Do not share data folders. You are going to have consequences from that which we will not help with. You need four different data folders.
