running two signal in two workspace in IB simulation account

Postby dingmanhoe123 » 16 Jan 2015

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?

Hello dingmanhoe123,

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
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.
