Multiple Strategies Same Account?
If I run multiple strategies with the same instrument at the same time on the same account will the positions operate independently of each other?

Hello calebsandfort,
Think of each strategy as a different trader, but every trader is calling the same broker and placing trades to the same account and same instrument.
If one trader places a buy, they think the account position is long, and another trader places a sell order, they think the position is short, but the account is actually flat.
Use different accounts or different instruments if you want to keep the account positions separate.
Below is a link to a forum post that details this.

If two orders were submitted on the same instrument by two different strategies with their own unique OCO bracket orders, would these positions remain separate - as in, will strategy A's contract only fill on A's take-profit, or could it also get filled on strategy B's take-profit? Thank you!

Hello Daveman0,
You can run multiple strategies (or have multiple traders call the same broker) and trade the same account and instrument.
Just know that the position reflected by each strategy will not match the account, and the Trade Performance will not match the Strategy Performance.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer Service
