I would like to have three charts up simultaneously and trade one live and the other two simulated. Is that possible and how do I do that?

Yes this is possible but the way that this is done is by using another instance which is set to be in Trade Simulation Mode. Follow the instructions on this page:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance

You will want to make sure in the main instance of Sierra Chart Trade Simulation Mode is disabled.

Ok. How about making it this way. I have three charts up in the chartbook. Designate the chart that is highlighted as the live automated trading chart. The other two charts in this example would be set at Sim trading and/or Auto trading disabled. If I wanted to switch to one of the sim charts quickly I'd simply turn on the automated trading capability for that chart and turn off the autotrading on the first chart.

Just make it so that we can designate the chart or charts which are autotrading. Have 1 that is auto trading and the others not autotrading. Could have two on and one off or all three autotrading. Give the trader some flexibility.

Review to our answer at post #2. This is how it works. There is 0% possibility of anything else.
