[User Discussion] - Interactive Brokers -- SC instances

Hi, I would appreciate some explanation, how multiple SC instances are separated or connected while using IB as data and trade service.
It is documented here (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IB.php) "Multiple Concurrent Connections to TWS" that from the instance 0 you will "have access to all trade orders from TWS as well as orders entered from Sierra Chart".
Based on this I thought that any given instance of SC doesnt know about the orders and positions of the others. In reality, the instances are aware of positions, but doesnt know about working (attached) orders, Last Entry Trade DateTime and other details.
How exactly this works?
Thank you

Trading between Sierra Chart instances is completely isolated but when you connect different instances to the same Interactive Brokers account through TWS, then each of them will get the particular trading related data provided by TWS. That is all we can say.

As far as other details go, we do not know because it starts getting very complex and hard to understand because we do not know how TWS works. And we also have to analyze specific scenarios you are discussing which we will not do.
