Are there any plans to provide Trade Copier capabilities? (i.e. orders executed on one instance under one username/account, get executed on another instance under another username/account). Something like this www.mt4copier.com offered by Metatrader. On this post www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=11675 you mention that you plan implement something like that "long term".

IB Financial Advisor accounts does something similar - similar yet not the same (that requires linking all accounts under the same username within IB, and you even say that "Sierra Chart cannot have reliable integration to these types of accounts").

If no plans, would you believe this is something I could pay a SC coder to implement via an ACSIL study, or is it exorbitantly complicated?

Thanks.

Yes longer-term but it is not something we expect to probably get to this year.

However, the copying capability would only be within a single instance of Sierra Chart.

We ourselves do not have time now to develop this but you could find a programmer that could and they could use the DTC Server functionality in Sierra Chart.

This is now supported in 1862. Refer to the notes for 1860:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Whats_New.php#SCVer1860

It will be supported with live trading in probably about a week.

In the note: 1860 Release Date: 2019-01-13 says " This feature currently only works in Trade Simulation Mode for safety reasons." Does not work on live mode yet?

What is going to happen if a copied limit order from account A to account B is filled on account A and not on account B?

i.e. a take profit filled on account A not filled on account B? am I going to have an orphan trade?

In regards to post #9, why do you ask? Obviously you know what has happened. So the situation is what it is.

We have no idea why we are being asked . There is nothing for us to say. This is for you to deal with. That's your issue.

I asked to be sure that the only way to avoid orphan trades (I suppose without any alert message by Sierra) is to use ONLY market orders

thanks

We don't think that term "orphan trades" is correct. Orders are not always going to fill at the same time in different trade accounts but the orders will eventually fill.

But yes you can use market orders.

Hi there,

I am not sure if that answer your needs, but I am working on tool (beta should start in a week from now) that allows you to copy trades from sierra chart to MT4/MT5. Plan to add cTrader/NinjaTrader plugins, so you could copy trades between multiple platforms.

If you interested, pls visit https://aimfx.io/.

thanks,
Lukasz

Is there a feature that supports different allocation sizes based on each sub account value?

Any plans to add this to match IB's capabilities in this area?

Possibly.

How would this work? We are not familiar with this.

Hi. I would like to understand if it is possible to use the trade allocation feature to copy trades that I am making in IB (not necessarily within Sierrachart), to then copy them to another Sierra supported broker.

From what I understand, IBKR needs to be in it's own instance. So I'm not sure if this can work.
But is it possible to share sim accounts across instances such that for example:

SC Instance 1
IBKR >> Sim1

SC Instance 2
Sim1 >> Broker2

I have not tried to set this up but wanted to get a sense before attempting to open accounts.

(Also if there is some other way besides trade allocation feature to achieve this, I would love to understand how)

Thanks

With regards to post #22:

The "Order Allocation to Trade Accounts" does not do this. Nor is there any other built-in tool that does this.

You could create a custom study to do what you want, but it will get a bit complicated with how to share the information between instances.

With regards to post #22:
If you look at post Trade Copier | Post: 229722 I've built a tool (https://aimfx.io/) that allows you to copy trades between multiple brokers/platforms. This allows to copy from/to sierra instances. In such case, you could do what you need.
1. SC with IBKR that copy to SC Sim1 account
2. SC Sim1 -> Another SC instance with another broker

From the other hand, you basically don't need SC Sim1 in between. You could copy from
SC Instance #1 IBKR -> SC Instance #2 another broker which should reduce a latency.

Though, there are some limitations as only exposure is being copied with attached TP/SL. No unattached limit/stop orders are supported.
