Hi there, I am trading one market live and another one on Sim. They happen to be ZC(CBOT) and CL(NYMEX) respectively. Today I had open orders on both, thus I had to switch between modes in order to check each mode open orders. While trading the live one, I had a stop loss placed on the Sim account that I thought had gotten hit. When I switched back to Sim mode, the stop loss appeared and got hit where price was at that exact moment. With that, two questions: 1) Does Sim mode stops get "frozen" if you switch to live mode, and if they were to get triggered they only do so if you switch back to it? 2) I am assuming that in order to trade both Sim and Live and avoid having to switch between modes, I might have to run another instance of SC. Can I use Denali on one instance on Live and on the 2nd instance on Sim? Best Regards, |

1. Yes. 2. Yes you do need to use two separate instances. A sub instance will work fine.
