Hello.
I've 2 portfolio strategies that must work with 2 different brokers: strategyA with brokerA and strategyB with brokerB.
If I have the same amount of money on both brokers (let's say for example 50.000$ on brokerA and 50.000$ on brokerB) I will set "Initial Portfolio Capital" (on the PortfolioTrader) equal to 100.000.
But what happens if I have a different amount of capital on the two brokers (for example 50.000 and 70.000)?
Should I set the Initial Capital equal to 120.000 and expect to see some trades rejected by the brokerA (the one with less capital)?
Or should I set the Initial Capital equal to 100.000 and expect not to be completely invested on the brokerB (the one with more capital)?
Is there any other way or solution?
I use the last MC14 version.
Thank you in advance

Hello al68,
In MultiCharts Portfolio Trader Money Management settings and Initial Capital are applied to the whole portfolio. If you’d like to set different initial capitals for different strategies, you can create two separate instances of Portfolio Trader for each of the strategy and broker.
If you’d like to continue trading in one instance you need to create a Portfolio Money Management Signal with specific conditions that will meet your needs. You may use these keywords for reference (starting with ‘pmms’).

al68,
You can open the script of pre-built signals for reference in PowerLanguage Editor in File->Open->check the ‘Signals’ box->signals starting with ‘Portfolio’ (e.g. Portfolio_Rotation_MM) and modify it to your needs.
As for adding more pre-built signals, you can post your request at our Project Management.
If it is popular among our users, our developers will review the possibility of adding them.
