You can run the same strategy on several of your own accounts, with the same settings or different ones. Each account still decides for itself: its own risk, its own limits, its own position and its own orders.
When two accounts run exactly the same settings on the same market, your computer works out what the strategy says once and gives the answer to both. That is all they share. It changes nothing about what either account does, and there is nothing to set up. See How many accounts one computer can run for the detail.
A strategy is the group
Accounts on the same strategy move together. Save a change on one and it reaches all of them, and no others. The group has no separate name: it is called whatever the strategy is called. Rename the strategy and every screen follows.
If an account runs settings you have not saved and named, screens show a plain name for what it runs. You never see an internal code.
Moving an account onto a different strategy
Open Connections, find the account, and use Move to. The list shows your strategies by name, with how many accounts are on each. It includes strategies with no accounts right now, so you can always move an account back.
Choose one and Wildflower shows what would change before anything happens: how many settings move, and what the account keeps. Confirm, and the account takes that strategy's settings exactly. Anything it had that the strategy does not use is removed, so the account runs the strategy and nothing else.
To keep an account apart, choose Keep this account on its own settings. Changes saved elsewhere then stop reaching it.
What stays with the account
A move never copies what belongs to the account: its firm contract cap, its daily limits, whether it is paper or live, its broker limits, its hours and rest window, and any exceptions you set. Those describe the account, not the strategy.
One of these needs a note. Your daily limits change which trades are taken. So an account whose limits differ from the others is not really running the same thing. The confirm step says so. The account keeps showing its own strategy name until its limits match. You set them on the account's Your limits page.
Same rules, different numbers
For the same rules with different settings, you have two options:
- Put the accounts on different strategies and set each one.
- Use a profile on the strategy, and choose which profile each account uses.
Which plan
Running one strategy on several accounts is part of the Bot. Changing which strategy an account runs is always open to you.
What can go wrong
- A change reaches more accounts than you expected. Check which accounts run the strategy first. The strategy card and the Connections row both list them.
- The account still shows its old strategy name after a move. Its daily limits differ from the others. Set them to match on the account's Your limits page.
- Opposing positions across accounts. Some firms don't allow opposing positions across accounts. The hedging setting in Bot settings decides how strictly Wildflower keeps your accounts from holding opposite sides.
