I know in the Documentation it is Not allowed to have more than One Automated Trading System for each Instrument per Account.
But, what if each Chart that had an Automated Trading System attached/Incorporated to that Chart had an Identifier so that you could have More than One Automated Trading System per Instrument?
In other words for each Automated Trading System on it's own Chart for the Instrument had it's own Identifier for all Orders,Logic,etc...
So it would Not Confuse between each System on other Charts that have the Same Instrument.

It's not that it is "not allowed" to run multiple trading systems on the same instrument.
It's just "not advised" by SC Team to do on one account.
This makes it more robust in real-time trading, but of course less convenient for the programmer.
You need to keep track of order numbers/internal position state per system in your code to make this work correctly.

Yes but this identifier is known as the Trade Account.

There is no other way to do this.
