Each Strategy trading their own positions

[percma]

Could I please have quick reference on how to make sure that each strategy (on the same instrument) does trade their own position.

Sync False would be enough?

thanks again.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

In general, there is not a specific suggestion on how you would develop multiple strategies that run on the same instrument, most commonly it is suggested to instead combine the logic into a single script. A single script is aware of all positions it places and could delegate logic accordingly. You can also set the single script to place multiple entries in the same direction if needed or utilize other timeframes and instruments. You can, however, use some of the newer features of NinjaScript to observe the account position or perform syncing actions on multiple strategies.

As strategies are unaware of what the others are doing, you can perform manual sync options like the following link describes: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...eAllStrategies

You can also create a script that utilizes the PositionAccount object rather than Position, again this is not directly what the other strategies positions are but is instead the direct account position: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ionaccount.htm

You can utilize the addon framework for its Account object subscriptions as well to observe an account in more detail if needed: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.

just to be sure...I do not want the strategy to look at the account position but only to the trades done by the single strategy in question. ie: one taking a very long term view and another strategy trading on a different time frame and shorter Profit/Stop loss targets.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, there is no suggested way for two strategies to communicate, they are separated for a reason. The reason is so that each individual strategy has its own performance results. You can read about the separation of account and virtual position here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._account_p.htm

If you need to know what the other strategies position is specifically, I would suggest making the multiple strategies into a single multi-timeframe strategy. This will be a lot less complicated than trying to make sure multiple scripts are in sync while running them. Otherwise, you would need to observe the account position as the alternative. There is not a way I could suggest to make the strategies communicate their position in a synced way.

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