This will not work. Even in Simulation Mode the information for the trades is shared between Chartbooks. And this will definitely not work with live trading, as you will be having the same issue where your Spreadsheet System is telling the exchange to do one thing, but your manual trades are doing another, so they will conflict and you will have orders being cancelled or reversed or who knows what.

If you are wanting to trade manually as well as have an algorithm trading separately, then you would need to have two separate trading accounts to handle this. You will then want to have two installations of Sierra Chart in order to have one connected to one account, and the other connected to the other account. Refer to the following for how to install a separate Sierra Chart installation:
Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time: Step-By-Step Instructions to Install Multiple Copies of Sierra Chart

For simulation mode, having two installations will work as well, as each installation is separate in this case.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
