Is there any way to use Trade Lock on specific DOM's / Charts only rather than the all or nothing platform wide option we have now?

I have a few chart DOMs up but don't want to trade of some of them, but if I turn Chart Trade Mode off on those charts then the DOM is closed.

The only other option I'm considering is starting a new instance for live execution charts only, is that the best way around this?

For charts (not Trading DOMs), you can set the option for "Trade >> Chart Trade Mode On" to not be enabled. You will not be able to enter or view orders on that chart.

There is not a way to turn off a Trading DOM. The only here would be to remove the Trading DOM altogether.

The other option you mention of using a separate instance will work as well. This is our recommendation for lowest latency trading in general. Refer to the following:

Woodzy - I found another solution on the forum: for no-trading DOMs, set to require order confirmation. See M menu in Trade Window for each non-trading DOM.

Good idea User745789, yes that works. I would have to disable order confirmations in Global Chart trade settings first, before configuring the individual DOMS.

In the end I have settled for separate Sierra instances for my Live execution DOMs anyway as this also spreads any CPU load to give them best performance.
