DTC protocol latency and multiple sim accounts

Hi,

I use SC DTC to control two trading accounts on separate machines:

1) is there a setting somewhere that would make DTC update the subordinate (client) account and trading info more quickly (reduce latency)?

2) i created 2 sim accounts on the machine connected directly to the data feed (primary account). The subordinate/client machine is NOT seeing the orders/positions taken on the sim2 account. Infact, the client machine does not show "Sim2" in the trade window at all. Is this a limitation?

thanks

1. This is already is as fast as can possibly be. And in newer versions of Sierra Chart this happens extremely fast. It is in the microsecond range.


Although if you are referring to the evaluation of filling simulated orders, that does happen at an interval of 1/2 second in the current version.

2. Creating simulation accounts? You do not create simulation accounts if you are referring to Trade Simulation Mode in Sierra Chart. There is a certain number of accounts which exist which is set through Global Settings >> General Trade Settings. And those accounts are always sent to a sub instance.
