Multiple Trading studies for the same Symbol using same data

Is there any issues with having two charts with the SAME symbol (CL) open each having different studies and trading different strategies but sharing the same data? Would there be an issue if they both triggered trades at the same time for example? Thanks

If the conflicts are from the Auto Trade Management part of SC can I ask if it is then acceptable for 2 or more studies to use the same SC data folder for the same Symbol? The text you linked does not really describe if there are possible conflicts with sharing data for the same symbol although it's sort of implied by saying that you need separate Trade accounts? I would imagine there would be conflicts with read/writes to the same file from different chartbooks so you probably also need separate data folders/sources?

I can understand the conflicts with the SC auto trade management but my understanding is that you can avoid the conflicts by using manual trade order management or by using trading locks to avoid multiple trades from different studies on the same symbol. Thanks

We do not understand this question. We do not understand the relationship between a study and the Data Files Folder.

We do not understand the purpose of this question. Why is it even being asked? Conflicts? You are not going to have conflicts within a single instance of Sierra Chart. You are over thinking this. None of this is even relevant.

The section we link to completely answers this question. Anyone else looking at that, will have a clear understanding of what we are saying.

It is posts like this which we do not want on this Support Board. We should not even be having to answer these questions to begin with since there is no basis for the questions to begin with.
