Hello!

I wanted to try to find it out on my own, but it seems like all I do simply doesn't help. I am using my main instance for the trade execution from the DOM, while doing simulated trading (Trade simulation mode on). I am also using another sub instance to do charting and calculations to get better DOM performance on the main one. The problem is that these simulated orders are not being shown in my sub instance, but I can see them in the main one by enabling Show Order Fills. I already read tens of similar posts, followed all the recommendations, disabling sim mode in the sub instance, but nothing helps..

Please, guide me with the all the steps to make it happen. It would really help me a lot.
I would appreciate any help, thank you for your time!

Sub-instances (started with File >> New Instance) are connected to the main instance and send their information to that Main Instance. When using the built-in simulation mode you turn off the Simulation Mode in the Sub-Instance so that orders are sent to the Main Instance and then all the orders are accumulated in the Main Instance. But, as you state, this means that orders created in the Main Instance will not appear in the Sub-Instance.

Note that this is only for Simulation Mode. Therefore, we recommend using our "Simulated Futures Trading Service" for your simulated trading, this way you can see the information in both the main instance and the sub-instance. Refer to the following:
