I have a very simply question. I want to auto-trade two different symbols (e.g. ES and NQ) on the same account. What is the best practice? Use one chart book with two charts and two spreadsheets in it, or two chart books? There's also the option of multiple instances of SC but my understanding is this is not necessary in this case. If the answer is "whatever you want", that's great too. thanks in advance.

Each option has its own advantages: 1. One chartbook, one same-named spreadsheet file on both charts. - Each chart will have its own spreadsheet sheet, and by default each sheet# will match its chart#. - If the Formula Source Sheet Number is the same for both, you only have to edit one sheet. - The easiest way is to create one system with all the settings and formulas, then duplicate the chart and change the symbol/bar period. 2. Two chartbooks, two uniquely named spreadsheet files. - If you have both chartbooks open concurrently, the spreadsheet files should be named differently to avoid interaction. - This works best if each chartbook has many charts or many overlays. |
