I tried to run two signal in two workspace in IB simulation account.
I used MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy to collect the status of marketposition for each strategy.
I used MP[1]=0 and MP=1 to detect whether there was a trade in the last bar. and then a stoploss signal will be generated.
However I found that the signal did not run as planned.
1. What I want to know is whether MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy could be used in IB simulated account?
2. should I used marketposition instead? can I run two workspace in the same time and they will not affect each other if they are trading the same instrument?

Look for this article in wiki:::

Andrew, that link says Hedging is not supported in MC, but if I trade 2 charts of same symbol, but to a 2 diff accounts in IB, thats not hedging? rightHello dingmanhoe123,TJ is right, please follow the link: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ...

it would be Long in 1 acct and Short in 2nd acct, but not entered at the same price level, so the diff would be the profit or Loss

That is correct: it is not hedging and it is possible to do so in MC.Andrew, that link says Hedging is not supported in MC, but if I trade 2 charts of same symbol, but to a 2 diff accounts in IB, thats not hedging? right
