Multiple account position sizing

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked already but I've been unable to find any answer to this specific question.

If I have two futures accounts (at different brokers) set up in SierraChart (via having 2 copies installed and connected via DTC), can I place a trade and have it execute simultaneously on both accounts, and use a different position size for each account?

Thanks

No, the orders have to be submitted separately.

I have a somewhat related follow-up question, if I may.

If the first account is a real account and the 2nd one is a sim at the other broker, will this still function properly with DTC and whatnot? I want to have 2 doms up, one with each account side by side, so I can enter orders for both.

Will what still function properly?

As we understand this, the answer is yes. You can use two separate copies of Sierra Chart. Each one connected to different trading services. Refer to:

I just wanted to make sure that the 'sim' option would not be globally restrictive, meaning that I could only trade live or sim, but not both at once. I expected this was possible, but you never know, so I just wanted to verify. Thank you.

Within an instance of Sierra Chart, Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On is a global setting.
