How Many Symbols

[rightcoast]

I cant seem to find this answer on the forum...
Is it possible from the control center to run 1 strategy on 50, 100, 500 stocks at the same time? not HFT, more like 10min updates on price data, thx

Hi rightcoast,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as you are able to apply the strategy to one instrument at a time.

I have forwarded the ability to apply a strategy to an instrument list to development as a possible future enhancement.

Thanks Ryan,

So can you run the strategy on each symbol in control center, or is this limited to
less then many symbols @ the same time.

rightcoast,

If you right click and apply a new strategy you should be able to use that strategy multiple times so long as you modify the instrument.

I do not know if there is an actual limit to how many strategies you can run at a time, but the more strategies you are running could result in performance slow downs on your PC.

***to verify: if you run a strategy from the control-center tab, you can include only one instrument, with multiple strategies...

and if you run a strategy from a chart, you can include multiple instruments?***

Hi mystiq,

Thank you for your post.

Even from a chart you can not run a strategy on multiple instruments. If you are viewing a multiple instrument chart and then apply a strategy you will have to choose which instrument to apply the strategy.

..so why does nt have a section on multi- instrument strategies which says it can be done.
referring to http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...lti-instrument

please clarify

Hi mystiq,

The difference is you would have to define the instruments within the strategy coding. If you write a strategy with no instrument specified you can apply it to only one instrument at a time within NinjaTrader.

However, if you specify within the code multiple instruments you can run you strategy on those instruments.
