Trading multiple tickers in one strategy?

Postby quod_erat » 22 Apr 2020

I'm pretty sure that's not possible, but wanted to verify. In Portfolio Trader, is it possible to trade multiple tickers within the same strategy from the Data1 line? I know it's not possible off a chart, but in PT, there are multiple rows available in the Data1 column, so maybe?

This would be for pairs trading. It's simple enough to set up two strategies (one for each side of the pair), but doing it in one strategy would simplify things visually.

Hello quod_erat,

Currently there is no such pre-built solution. One can code a Portfolio Money Management signals that should react to the base data series close (typically it is the upper symbol in the portfolio symbols list). Then it should send commands to other symbols. In other works, the PMM signal checks the conditions and then tells one signal to buy and another signal to sell, etc.
You can find basic examples of Portfolio strategies in the following article, but they should be modified according to your specific needs: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... y_Examples
