1) Does an automated strategy ever leave my machine? Is it ever sent to Sierra Chart for any reason?
2) What does it mean that "all orders are routed directly to those services and not through Sierra Chart systems with the exception of LMAX, FXCM, BitMEX..."?
3) What step is there between my machine and BitMEX? (This is asked as a clarification to the above.)
4) Are there any plans to change this setup?
5) Where is SC's server? (The BitMEX matching engine is in AWS eu-west1.)
6) How robust are this server's redundancy and DR capabilities?

Thank you (for both your assistance here and for building a genuinely robust, intuitive, well-designed application).

1. The answer is no to both questions. We have no interest in what you would be doing.

2. In the case of BitMex, orders are now routed directly to BitMex.

3-6. This is no longer relevant.

4. Also order routing through our own server would really be the ultimate set up for various reasons which includes stable and reliable connectivity, and well-managed OCO and bracket orders, among other reasons. But we just don't want to do further work on that now.
