Post From: Multiple Spreadsheet System for Trading on the same instrument

Going to try it right away.

What would happen if the 2 systems both enter a trade? If they both go long that wouldn't be an issue.

But if one goes long and the other one goes short, i assume the short trade will close out the long trade, or the other way around depending on which one was triggered first?


Edit: first tests seem to be positive, the spreadsheets are no longer intervening with each other.
It just so happened that my spreadsheets had 2 different signals right after i got them setup for these different instances, 1 short and 1 long.

The long was on first and a few minutes later the spreadsheet triggered a short as well and the short did not close out the long, so both trades were open at the same time, until closed by the attached orders.

I am still in a demo environment to do testing and further develop this automated trading system, can Sierra Chart support please confirm if this would be the same in live trading?
Or would the short actually close out the long in live trading?
