Sub-instances (started with File >> New Instance) versus separate installations are exactly the same as far as performance. The difference between them is that the sub-instances get their data from the main instance and trades are sent through the main instance. Sub-instances can not set a specific service, so they are connected to the same one as the main instance. You will have a problem connecting to the same Rithmic account from multiple installations of Sierra Chart. The Rithmic connection that is used does not allow for multiple connections. If you are connecting to different Rithmic accounts, then this is not a problem. You can make multiple installations of Sierra Chart work with Interactive Brokers. If you are trading with both Rithmic and Interactive Brokers, and you are connecting to the same Rithmic account, then the recommended setup would be 2 installations where one installation is for Rithmic and the other is for Interactive Brokers. Then use Sub-Instances with both. If you are trading different accounts with either, then you would set them up as separate installations. This gets a bit more complicated with Interactive Brokers - refer to the following: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Multiple Sierra Chart Instances with TWS For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
