multiple strategies on multiple accounts

Running multiple strategies accounts is a critical capability for professional traders and fund managers. This advanced feature allows you to implement different multiple strategies accounts simultaneously across various portfolios with Interactive Brokers and Python.

Implementing Different Strategies Per Account

This is a sample code to demonstrate how IBridgePy for Multi Account implement different trading strategies on multiple accounts. The sample code assumes that two IB accounts (accountCode1 and accountCode2) are linked to one login credential.

For the accountCode1, the strategy is to maintain a long position of 100 shares of Forex: CASH,EUR,USD when the current ask price is higher than moving average of 50 and hold no position when the current ask price is lower than moving average of 50.

For the accountCode2, the strategy is to maintain a long position of 500 shares of Forex: CASH,USD,JPY when the current ask price is higher than moving average of 100 and hold no position when the current ask price is lower than moving average of 100.

    context.security1 = symbol('EUR')

    # Strategy for Account 1
    hist1 = data.history(context.security1, 'close', 50, '1d')
    ma50 = hist1.mean()
    current_price1 = data.current(context.security1, 'ask')
    
    if current_price1 > ma50:
        order_target('accountCode1', context.security1, 100)
    else:
        order_target('accountCode1', context.security1, 0)
    
    # Strategy for Account 2
    hist2 = data.history(context.security2, 'close', 100, '1d')
    ma100 = hist2.mean()
    current_price2 = data.current(context.security2, 'ask')
    
    if current_price2 > ma100:
        order_target('accountCode2', context.security2, 500)
    else:
        order_target('accountCode2', context.security2, 0)
