How Worspaces and Strategies work

[Bluebeep]

Hi guys,

I have 3 workspaces. Each workspace is dedicated to a specific setup I am watching.

I have created a strategy for each workspace that I have loaded up by right-clicking the chart.

My question is will my strategy run on a non-active workspace?

What I mean is I can only have one workspace I can actively work on at at any given time. The other workspaces aren’t ‘Closed’. I still have them running but they are not the active one. The non-active ones have strategies loaded and I want to know if the strategies will still execute on the non-active ones.

And as a follow up, if I don’t want the strategy to run, I can disable the strategy but will closing the workspace also effectively do the same thing?

Hello Bluebeep,

Thank you for your note.

Strategies will run as long as your workspace that the strategy is in is still running, the workspace does not have to be active for this to be true.

If you close & save a workspace it will also close/disable the strategies in that workspace and remove them from the strategy tab. If you then reopen the workspace, the strategy will be added back into the strategy tab but will not be enabled until you enable it. This would be true if you run the strategy on the strategy tab or by adding it to a chart.

Let us know if further questions come up.
