Some users find that running a single strategy on an evaluation account can result in slow progress. By leveraging multiple strategies, you can:
Diversify your trading approach.
Maximize account utilization.
Potentially speed up the process of passing an evaluation account.
Avoid Duplicate Instruments: You cannot run multiple strategies for the same instrument on a single account (e.g., two NQ contracts simultaneously).
Use Different Instruments: Instead, you can add strategies for different instruments, such as:
NQ (Nasdaq Futures)
ES (S&P 500 Futures)
GC (Gold Futures)
No Same-Instrument Long/Short Mix: You cannot run both a long and a short strategy for the same instrument. For example:
You can run an NQ strategy (long or short), an ES strategy, and a GC strategy.
You cannot run an NQ long strategy and an NQ short strategy simultaneously.
Open the Leaderboard in NinjaTrader or your bot platform.
Choose one strategy for each instrument you wish to use (e.g., one for NQ, one for ES, one for GC).
Navigate to New > Chart in NinjaTrader.
Select the instrument (e.g., NQ, ES, GC).
Configure the time frame (e.g., second-based or minute-based).
Open the Strategies Tab by right-clicking on the chart or pressing Ctrl + S.
Add your selected strategy to the chart and fill out its details.
Confirm that each strategy runs on a different instrument.
Avoid adding duplicate strategies or same-instrument long/short combinations.
Review the strategies on the chart to ensure they are running as intended.
Monitor their performance and make adjustments if necessary.
By adding multiple strategies across different instruments, you:
Increase your chances of passing the evaluation account quickly.
Diversify your trading portfolio, reducing reliance on a single strategy or market.
Leverage a balanced approach to trading both long and short positions.
With these steps, you can take a more aggressive and efficient approach to passing your evaluation account. Always remember to follow account and platform rules to avoid errors or invalidation of your progress. Good luck and happy trading!
