Post From: Sierra Chart with Two Different Brokers

Hello,
I have accounts with two different brokers. AMP Futures, and Interactive Brokers. I installed one copy of Sierra Chart on my Desktop Machine, and another copy on a VIRTUAL machine in Hyper-V on the same desktop PC. I followed all the setup instructions for Interactive Brokers. My AMP Futures account has been running for months as is.

So what I have is My AMP copy of Sierra on one machine, and the Interactive Brokers copy of SC on a virtual machine. In other words, a copy of Sierra on two different machines.

So far so good. I can run both instances of Sierra, but only the instance that I connect first gets real time data. The other instance just sits there. For example, I start both instances. I connect the IBKR instance and it runs fine. Now I connect the AMP instance. It downloads Historical Data, then just sits there.

If I start AMP first, IBKR downloads historical data, then just sits there.

They are accessing completely different brokerages, data feeds, etc. They are on separate computers (virtually). I'm at a loss as to why they are interacting like this.

Any help appreciated. Thanks
