I want to set up Simulated Trading Service.

I have 2 kinds of Futures data I'm using right now, in my open chartbooks.

- EUREX realtime
- CBOT Delayed

How do I set this up correctly?

There are two different Simulated Futures Trading services, one for real-time data and one for delayed data. Therefore, you can not trade both of these exchanges at the same time from the same instance of Sierra Chart.

Your options are the following:
- Switch back and forth between the real-time (for EUREX) and the delayed (for CBOT) Simulated Futures Trading services. If you are not needing to actively monitor your trades and are using working orders to close our your positions, then you can switch back and forth with open positions, as the working orders will be on our Simulated Futures Trading Service servers.
- Install a second Sierra Chart and have one installation for the real-time EUREX trading and one for the delayed CBOT trading. This would be our recommendation. As long as the second installation is on the same computer there are no additional fees you need to worry about. Refer to the following for how to install a second Sierra Chart:
