Hello

I work with 2 instances. When I open a trade I don't see the three lines Entry Stop and Target on the other instance. I don't see Draw objects either.
Question: Is there a way to link the two instances? The crosshair is also important here.
Thanks.

Best Regards

With regards to the trades, you should be able to see the information in both instances. Exactly how you need to be setup depends on whether you are using a Sub-Instance (started with File >> New Instance) or if this is an actual separate installation.

In the case of a Sub-Instance, you just need to ensure that the sub-instance is NOT in Simulation mode. This way, it is setup to get the information from the main instance.

In the case of a separate installation, you just need to be connected to the same trading service, although some services do not allow you to connect from multiple sources, so this may not work depending on your trading service.

With regards to the crosshairs and drawings, these are not shared between instances of any kind. Refer to the following:
