Question 1:
How to start a new instance on the 2nd drive of the same computer? If you are wanting to have another instance of Sierra Chart on a different drive, then you need to install a second Sierra Chart in that location. There are no additional fees for this situation and everything will run fine. The only limitation to the number of installations on a single computer is that you can only get the Denali data to 3 separate installations at the same time. Refer to the following for how to install another Sierra Chart: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart Question 2:
The following link says, "When using additional sub instances of Sierra Chart which is connected to a server instance either through File >> New Instance or as an independent instance using the DTC-Sub Instance Service in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings, this allows for the distribution of processing load from chart updating and study calculations, among the CPU cores." Does it mean both procedures (from File>> New Instance or from Global Settings=> DTC-Sub instance) of creating another instance produce similar performance using multiple cores of the CPU? This is correct. When using either another installation, or the File >> New Instance, you are creating a separate execution of the Sierra Chart software that runs independently and can therefore take advantage of another core on the computer. The only difference between File >> New Instance and a separate installation is that when you select "New Instance" that instance is tied to the Main Instance and any trading and data processes through the main instance.
