Running various strategies on the same product, with different accounts each

[IS12345]

When I run various strategies on the same product, each pointing to a different account, the sync column changes to false. This ultimately results in trades that the scrypt is not longer in control of.
Would you run one chart per strategy per account? or create tabs? How can I make sure that the strategies run on each account for the product without having this issue?
Another tell is that the fill is different for the accounts, so the profit is different and so is the target, making some accounts close at target and some loss after a winning trade.
Would you recommend I use a trade copier instead?

NinjaTrader support, is there an inherent reason this should be true if each strategy trading the same symbol points to a different account?

Hello IS12345,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Forums!

This is correct, you should run the strategies on different accounts.

Multiple strategies running on the same instrument and account will cause one or all of the strategies to be out of sync with the account position. Think of two traders calling a broker on the phone and trading the same account. The first trader tells the broker to submit a buy order. They think they are long. The second trader tells the same broker to place a sell order on the same account. They think they are short. The account is actually flat, but both traders think they are in a position.

Below is a link to a forum post on this.

When starting a NinjaScript Strategy the Start Behavior comes in to play with the synchronization. If the account is flat, and the strategy is using Wait until flat, and there is only one strategy instance running on the account and instrument, the strategy and account will be in sync.

So best scenario to solve this issue is to run a trader copier instead?

If each strategy is on its own account I do not follow how Sync would be false unless there is a strategy-specific problem. The fact that they are trading the same instrument should not matter if each account is different.

Hello IS12345,

I'm not quite understanding how the trade copier would be involved.

If there is only one strategy running on the instrument and account and these are not in sync, this would imply the strategy was not started with Wait until flat, or the account was not flat when the strategy was started, or there was a manual order submitted.

Note, if you are using Immediately Submit, there is a Immediately Submit Synchronize account that will synchronize the account as shown in the video demonstrating start behavior.
