Can I run two alerts on the same ticker to the same ATS?

Technically yes, but usually you should not.


If they both execute at the same time then you will have unintended consequences (i.e. flattening or doubling a position depending on direction).

What you can do is have two different alerts set for different time strings.


As long as they force close at the end of the time string so that trade times do not overlap, then this is acceptable.

You need to ensure that you do not allow two strategies to execute at once.

If that doesn't make sense to you, and you've just started with the system, then do not set two alerts to the same ATS at all, period.
