We will admit to still being a bit confused on exactly the setup you want. It sounds like you simply want to be able to trade both your Dorman account and your IB account using Sierra Chart, and you want to use the Denali Exchange Data feed with your Dorman setup, but not necessarily for the IB setup. If we have this correct, then here is what you would need to do in general: 1. Install 2 different instances of Sierra Chart on the Same computer (you will save some money by having them on the same computer, if you need them on different computers, then you would need to pay for a second instance of the Denali Exchanges). Refer to the information here for installing 2 Sierra Chart instances on the same computer: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart 2. In one of the installations, you would set it up to connect to your Dorman account with CQG and use the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Be sure that the option for File >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chat Data Feeds is Enabled. To do this, follow these instructions: CQG Trading Platform Service: Setup Instructions 3. In the other installation, set it up to connect to IB. In this case, be sure that the option for File >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is NOT enabled. Follow these instructions to connect to IB: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions ---------------------------------------------- If you do want to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed in the IB connected version, then just change the option for File >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds to Enabled. --------------------------------------------- One note, you have subscribed to the Denali Exchange Data Feed for the SC Order Routing. This is the option to select if you are using the SC Order Routing, which you are not at this time. Refer to the information here about the SC Order Routing: Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service You really need to select the other option for the data feed itself. It is $5 more per month. You can make this change here: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ServicesActivation&UserID=154973#DenaliExchangeDataFeed For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
