SKY, I am not a Forum or chat person and this is the very first time in my life (47 years old) that I spend my time to write a reply in a Forum to respond to a comment that is not directed to me. You might be a software engineer but I think you are not being fair here; "this is a bad solution" is a poor choice of words. You are correct about some disk space waste (not too much if you set things properly), but is that really a problem nowadays? Regarding updating all copies, that's just a few clicks, it's almost automatic (I can update 5 copies in less than 5 minutes); is 5 minutes a month or so too much? Running the different copies: if you want, you can do it just running the first copy (1 click) and all the other copies will run automatically - it just depends on the way you set your system. As to the memory and CPU, SC is much lighter that any other trading software I have worked with. Any good (average) workstation can easily run several copies of SC, with many charts and studies, without any problem. Again, it will depend on the way you set your system. On the other hand, the advantages of being able to run several copies and share different data feeds are tremendous (I am not explaining them all here, of course). This characteristic is very valuable for this business - Trading. I am very surprised that you, as a software engineer, couldn't realize that. Actually, the capability to run several copies was the main reason that made me migrate from a very well known concurrent trading software to SC. Just after starting testing and exploring I realized how good SC can be in so many other things. I am quite sure that many SC users do agree with my point of view. I think you might just need to explore SC a bit further... Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-10-12 20:21:57
