Running two different EAs on the same forex pairs (same trading account)

New comment
 

Hi everyone,

I’m considering running two different Expert Advisors (EAs) on the same trading account and wanted to get some insights from those with experience.

  • Is it technically possible to operate two EAs on the same account without conflicts?
  • Are there any risks or potential issues I should be aware of (e.g., trade management conflicts, margin usage, etc.)?
  • Would it be better to run them on separate accounts instead?

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 
  1. Yes, it is possible (and common).
  2. If trading on the same symbol, use a different magic number for each EA instance to prevent conflict.
  3. Make sure that the EA only manages its own trades and no other, using the magic number and symbol as the selection.
  4. Adjust the risk parameters of each EA so that their combined usage does not go over your maximum (applies to both the stop-loss risk and margin requirements).
