Hello can i use IQ Feed ( or others ) for my data and Interactive Brokers (or others ) for my trading ? I tried to open two instances of SC one for IQFeed and the other for IB. But can i put together the two in one chart where receive the data from IQFeed and send the orders from THE SAME CHART ? |

I have a similar setup I don't think you can send orders from the same chart with two instances of SC. It's a bummer and requires a bit of setup/layout configuration on your desktop to get two instances to trade across two brokerage accounts efficiently. What I've done is setup one instance as the 'main' and then have a very minimal 'second' instance just for placing the trades on the other account. You can trade multiple accounts at the <same> broker ie. IB from the same chart (I do this with 3 accounts), just not across brokers. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-01-23 01:16:45

What you are asking for can be done, but it is a bit of a complex setup, and not one that we will help setup due to the complexity.

Really it is recommended you use the Sierra Chart data feeds which integrate with Interactive Brokers: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart You are much much much better off. Take our advice. This is why we developed our own feeds. We do not recommend using IQ Feed.

Regarding post #2, refer to: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Integration with Trading Services You do not need two separate instances of Sierra Chart. Just when I thought I was understanding the complexities of this lol... It's mentioned below I need two separate installations am I missing something? Can one instance of SC trade across multiple brokers ie. AMP and IB --> using your Denali Feed for data then --> AMP using SC Routing for trades and IB it's service for trades? If so that's amazing and what I've been trying to accomplish. (see reply #1 in Post #9) Switching feeds license purchase multiple borkers Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-01-23 03:50:38
