Dear Support, May I ask for your advice regarding the following setup: I need to trade two account groups at IB that have separate TWS logins. I am using your realtime data and IB for execution. I have a total of 4 allowed systems to use the same realtime datafeed. Currently I am running two separate SC copies (placed in separate folders - not sub-instances) connected to separate TWS that 'consumes' two data connections. Both copies are running on the same machine. My questions are, can you please confirm that: 1. Is it possible to share the datafeed between these two copies but have them connected to a separate TWS? I tried the New Instance option but that creates a trading connection identical to the Main instance as well (can not connect the sub-instance to another TWS). 2. Is it possible to run a 'main' copy of Sierra that is connected to the SC realtime datafeed and run it as a server then run two separate SCs on the same computer that are connected to the 'main' copy for data only but are connected to separate IB TWSs for execution? If this 2nd option is doable, can you please confirm that only the 'main' instance would use a single data connection (from the available 4) but the 2nd and 3rd instance would simply get the data through the DTC server and this does not count in the total allowed 4 connections? Thanks for your advice in anticipation! |
