Hello,

I'm curious if it's possible to request that the trade copier work across multiple installs.
This is very helpful when working with two accounts across two brokers.

I don't believe the feature to be currently included in the copier. If it is, let me know how to make that work.
I'd assume there would show a the accounts from the second install inside the copier settings.

Let me know if it's possible. It's a major asset to the platform with how retail traders are currently using the software.
Thanks,
Andrew

This is not supported.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

This classic SC response invites me to ask more questions. ;)

No worries.
I have a solution.

@Andrew:
You are not the first one asking for this function to be added. :-)
Apparently there have been plenty of requests in that regard.
When I asked about it here (Trade Copier for Accounts Connected to Different Trading Services?), I was told that it is already on the "requested features" list.
So, it will probably be added in the future; it is just unclear when.

By the way: I've tried the SST copier, and I don't like it for a few reasons. However, I certainly don't want to spoil Frederik's business, so give it a try yourself and see what you think.
(I for one will wait for a solution offered by SC...just hoping it won't take years. :-) )

Thanks for the info!
I'm using the SST study as my work around. Got it working pretty well but I would much rather work with something native to SC, if possible.

I'll keep jamming with this for now and keep my eyes peeled for an update.

Would copying over the trade activity log folder to another installation work for backtesting?
