How can 2 instances share chart data built from 2 different feeds?

Can 2 instances assist each other with heavy analysis from different timing, markets, bars sizes and data storage time unit (1 second vs tick)?
This would overcome computer limits I have reached.

Your purpose of instances seems to be:
1) Allow specialization of market data server, or
2) Allow trading from different accounts (or both simultaneously).

Example: I need one instance to use tick-by-tick for inside-bar studies and different time frames/ start times (by TCP/IP asynchronous communication of instances?).
The other instance does heavy 51 charts+10 spreadsheets processing with 1-second data storage.

Such 51 charts-instance can't handle tick-by-tick processing (I think). The computer is at limit.

The ability to use different start times, time frames (bar length) and numbers bars could give a cross-check. Different start time of charting gives different (useful) results.
Cross-market analysis is also useful.

If chart or spreadsheet data sharing worked, I would eventually use about 3 instances this way.
(The Space Shuttle used this approach- 2 different hardwares, 4 computers cross-checking).

This might be by:
a) an Overlay Study from other instance, or
b) sharing a single spreadsheet with 2 sheets accessing each other (Sheet would be instance#-Chart# ?), or
c) one instance use a new "data server" mode to send chart-study results to overlay on a target instance chart (like packet headers with instance#-chart#-study# prefix).

I'm guessing you all thought about dividing computer labor-resources for heavy demands, since you worked to utilize threads.

This is definitely supported just by using another instance and using the DTC Server. This is fully documented on this page here:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance


Each instance can use a different Intraday Data Storage Time Unit:

There is no ability to share study data. Only the historical and real-time market data.
