Can I backtest multiple EA's at once?

[yakkk]

In MT4, you can obviously only backtest 1 expert advisor & pair at a time.

My strategy involves running two expert advisors at the same time. The first does all the trading and the second is an ea that controls exit behaviour.

My question is... is there a way in Ninja Trader to properly backtest my strategy? It would involve backtesting two EA's running at the same time together.

Thank You

Hello yakkk,

Could you provide more details about what an EA is in MT4? I am not sure what the equivalent of that would be in NinjaTrader. If that is an Account then the same would apply, a strategy can only be applied to a single account at once.

If that is some kind of logic you can have a strategy execute multiple different logical paths in its code. Some logic could control entries and some could control exit behavior, that would all be held within one strategy. In NinjaTrader if you have multiple strategies that need to work together, for example one enters and one exits that would not be a valid approach and should just all be in a single strategy. The backtest tools could then test that single strategy that does all of the tasks.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
