For BitMEX trading the port numbers Sierra Chart uses are 5569 and 5567.

Also refer to:
Data/Trading Service Connection and Symbol Issues: 1.6. Internet Ports and IP Addresses used by Sierra Chart Data Services

In regards to:
On my first machine, SierraChart could not hold the connection to Bitmex today. Worked fine for a couple of minutes, then connection broke down, reestablished, broke down, reestablished and so on and so forth.

We think you are referring to this:

This would be an issue on the BitMEX side with the intermediary software used for the connection for trading. That is going to be changed to a direct connection in about a month.
