As I understand you can trade multiple systems on a single symbol using TS7. So you could trade 5 strategies on ES and 3 on US using TS7
No Fibo thats a negative; TS7 automation using their brokerage doesn't allow you to trade multiple strategies on a single symbol. It seems like a pretty basic flaw, seems almost unbelievable !
You can trade multiple systems if they all only go long, or trade only one side of the mkt. If they go both long and short, its not possible. TS support told me the only way around it is to open multiple accounts...
I see where the confusion lies; sure you can create 5 strategies on ES and 3 on US BUT you cannot turn on automation and use TS brokerage to execute them.
In your case it doesn't matter since you are using another broker. Your solution is actually quite good.
I would be interested to know if Strategy runner is able to bypass this headache?
