Dear IB I have reread "Using Multiple Sierra Chart Instances with TWS" a few times and checked the thread but not finding a solution (using Denali data feed, and TWS for execution) Issue: Order placed in the main instance will not show up in the sub-instance (for the same exact symbol and account number) Documentation states: "To have multiple copies of Sierra Chart connected to Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS), each copy of Sierra Chart needs to be set to a different Instance Client ID number, set with the Instance Client ID setting in the Service Settings section of the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings window. You can use any of the listed Instance Client ID numbers except for 0 which should only be used if you want to access all orders submitted from any copy of Sierra Chart or TWS, in the other instances of Sierra Chart" I can access the Instance Client ID List field in the main sierra installation (set to zero since I want to see the same order on both instances as described above) but not in the second or sub-instance. I have attached the settings screens for both. Am I missing this field in the sub-instance or I am getting the meaning of the above all wrong. Thank you any help is much appreciated!
