Hi,

Couple of questions:

1. so based on my understanding, the sierrachart deployment is isolated to the folder itself, ie no system/registry files so you can just put a deployment anywhere on your machine. I know that sierra recommends running an SSD, I'm using SSD for my OS, and HDD for my file storage. Is the difference that big performance wise in running sierra from the SSD vs HDD? If not then I can just move the sierrachart folder over to the HDD and run it straight from there right?

2. I've read that in order to run a diff trading service at the same time (with same market data/same machine) you can just install a fresh copy of sierra. My question here is, can I just copy my sierra folder into a new folder and run it with all of my current settings, then just change the DTS?

Thanks!

1. Do not even consider at all using an HDD. That is out of the question.

2. Refer to help topic 15:
