Hey, I have an account open with AMP Futures and I would like to know if it is possible to trade on Sierra Charts on two different computers simultaneously under the same brokerage account? What are the limitations and does it affect the layouts/DOM on different computers if one places a trade or changes his layout? I suppose in this case there should be 2 Sierra accounts? Also, are then trades placed separately without affecting the second account (other than the mutual account size)? Thanks, Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-03-31 15:44:53

It is possible to trade from two different computers with Sierra Chart to the same brokerage account. We are assuming that you then have two different trading accounts within that brokerage account where you are accessing one on one computer and the other account on the other computer. You would need to be sure to set the trading account on your Trade Window properly for each system. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM) The only issue with the above is data. We see that you are using the Denali Exchange Data Feed and the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. The Denali Exchange Data Feed can be accessed from two different computers at the same time by paying for the exchange fee a second time. Refer to the following: Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Exchange Data Feed on Two Computers Simultaneously The Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed does not have the ability to send data to two different systems simultaneously for the same account. So if it is imperative that you have that data on both systems, you would need to create a second Sierra Chart account and sign up for the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed for that second account. You would then need to do the same thing for the Denali Exchange Data Feed, since it is now being accessed from a different account. --------------------- Also note, this can all be done on a single computer as well, which does not have the limitations listed above for the data, even if you use two different installations of Sierra Chart. Or, you can do all of this from a single instance of Sierra Chart and set the Trading Account as needed per chart as specified above.
