running same strategy on multiple time frames

[sra18376]

I wanted to know if there is a way to run the same strategy on 3 different time frames. I know i could just go to the strategy tab and start the same strategy 3 times with different time frames, but is there a way to code this into ninjascript while keeping them mutually exclusive from each other?

my concern is that I don't want to overwork my CPU if I have 3 different time frames of a strategy running for 5 different stocks (therefore 15 strategies running simultaneously). Is that a valid concern? Does running strategies consume a lot of CPU/memory on a typical computer?

Thank you for your post.

This would be possible using Multiple Timeframes and Instruments.
Below is a link on getting started with this concept in NinjaScript -

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you.

Would you personally consider 5 or so strategies simultaneously ran to be CPU intensive for the average computer?

Sra18376,

Not necessarily. Its going to boil down to what kind of calculations you are working and whether or not you have CalculateOnBarClose set to true or false.
