Questions about sub-instances and Denali data

Hi, I’m just getting started with Sierra, have read many pages about Denali and sub-instances but still have some questions. I have package 11 and Denali subscription for full CME package and a live EdgeClear account to qualify for non-pro data. From reading the docs I understand that if I setup my EdgeClear account with Teton order routing then I do NOT need to login to EdgeClear once a month to re-qualify my non-pro status. I also understand that I can share my Denali data with up to 3 instances of Sierra on the same machine. Am I correct so far? My questions are about these sub-instances. Do I need to keep one of my Sierra instances running & connected to my EdgeClear/Teton account in order to keep my Denali non-pro data access? Or is simply setting up the Teton mapping on EdgeClear’s side enough? Basically I would like to use my shared 3 Denali connections for trading prop firms, and not trade my EdgeClear account just yet. I just wasn’t sure if I had to use one of my 3 active Denali connections purely for EdgeClear. So, once I have setup an instance for EdgeClear/Teton and confirmed the data connection is working real-time, can I shutdown that instance and then start 3 Sierra instances all sharing the Denali data? For example, something like this… Create a main instance to confirm EdgeClear/Teton is working, then shutdown this instance: - EdgeClear/Teton (main instance - SHUTDOWN) Now create another main instance for Apex prop firm, and then 2 sub-instances for other prop firms (all using Rithmic for trading, and Denali for data): - Apex (main instance - RUNNING) - MyFundedFutures (sub-instance #2 - RUNNING) - TopStep (sub-instance #3 - RUNNING) I hope that makes sense, is this possible? Also, is it possible to increase this limit of 3 active shared Denali connections on the same machine, or I guess I can just shutdown one sub-instance and start another if I add more firms? It only counts current active connections correct? Thanks for any insight on this. |

You can do it either way you want. You do not need to keep an instance always connected to your Edge Clear account. But if you do not do this, then you will need to connect your Sierra Chart to that account at least once a month for verification. So, once I have setup an instance for EdgeClear/Teton and confirmed the data connection is working real-time, can I shutdown that instance and then start 3 Sierra instances all sharing the Denali data?
Yes, you can do this. As noted above, you will have to make sure you do connect to that Edge Clear account at least once a month for verification. Also, is it possible to increase this limit of 3 active shared Denali connections on the same machine
This is not possible, the maximum is 3 instances on a single computer all receiving data at the same time. This is a limit set by the exchanges. You can get data to more instances by using a second computer. In this case you would need to pay for a second set of exchange fees, but you can then get data to an additional 3 instances on that other computer.

Regarding this: Now create another main instance for Apex prop firm, and then 2 sub-instances for other prop firms (all using Rithmic for trading, and Denali for data):
- Apex (main instance - RUNNING) - MyFundedFutures (sub-instance #2 - RUNNING) - TopStep (sub-instance #3 - RUNNING) You would not use the sub instance feature. Instead you would need to use independent installations of Sierra Chart: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
