    How to manage different strategies at the same time

    Hi,

    I have a strategy that I would like to run on my LIVE account, and I have serveral strategies that I would like to test run on DEMO account first.

    What should I do? Does 1 instance of Strategy Trader support at max 1 account? So to test different strategy, i'll have to set up multiple demo accounts?

    This is the correct setup?
    instance 1 of Strategy Trader --(manage)--> run profitable strategy on live account
    instance 2 of Strategy Trader --(manage)--> run experimental strategy 1 on demo1 account
    instance 3 of Strategy Trader --(manage)--> run exp. strategy 2 demo2 account

    Any setup that can minimize the instance being run on the PC? (i don't want the PC to be frozen)

    Thanks

    Hi uncle_mk2,

    Thank you for posting. In this case you will need 3 instances of ST with 3 different login. Please keep in mind that you can only open one instance of ST with one login in a PC. That means you need three PC to achieve that.

    Regards,

    The alternative is to use Virtual Machines, VMWare ESXi hyper visor is free and widely supported.
