Post From: Live trades on one instance are being referred to a sub-instance

I do have separate accounts for trades that occur in conflicting directions. But are you saying that regardless of conflicting directions or not, I need separate accounts assigned to each algo/study I run?
If they are for the same symbol - yes. Otherwise there is no way to differentiate the orders and everything will get muddled together. I demo-tested dozens of algos running simultaneously on several parent and dozens of sub-instances and was able to run algos autonomously from each other (sharing the same demo account). It was only when I switched to a live account that the orders started getting copied over to instances where the trade didn't originate from.
If you were running in Simulation mode, then each instance does stand on its own. A closer test to live trading would have been to have the main instance in Simulation Mode and the sub-instances not in Simulation mode, then the sub-instances would send the orders to the main instance.
