We may have misunderstood exactly what you wanted. But the functionality does work as it is designed. There is another way you can do what you want and that is simply just use a separate account to trade the same market. Sierra Chart does support multiple trade accounts . So simply have Interactive Brokers add another subaccount to your Interactive Brokers username and select it within Sierra Chart: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeWindow.html#SelectingTradeAccount This is fully and properly supported. What has been added is the ability for a chart or Trade DOM to track a Trade Position using the order fills from a specific Date-Time. This uses the Order Fill Calculated Position feature. So for example if you have an actual Position of +10 for a particular Symbol and Trade Account, and you want to track the position independently in another chart and have set that up, and you sell -1, in all charts and Trade DOMs that fill will affect the Trade Position Quantity making it 1 less. So the Position Quantity then becomes +9 and in charts and Trade DOMs which are independently calculating the Position Quantity, those will show -1 based upon what the starting fill date-time is set to. Now if you are asking for two different Charts or Trade DOMs to be tracking a Position Quantity for the same Symbol and the same Trade Account totally independent of each other and independent of the actual Trade Position Quantity, where submitting an order initiated from one of these results in a fill, and it is not going to affect the reported Trade Position Quantity in the other, then this is not supported and there are no plans for this. You will have to look elsewhere if that is what you are really looking for. It is not something which is in demand, or reasonable to implement, or logical to implement. We are not going to make Sierra Chart more complicated unnecessarily. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
