Multiple Data Feeds (Instruments) on a single strategy

  • S

    Hi All

    I am new to Back trader and I am in need of your help to test my strategy on multiple instrument data.
    I have pasted the code below, I am expecting the strategy to run for both the data feeds, but actually its running for only one data feed. Please let me know what I should be changing to make it run for both the instrument data feeds. Thanks in advance
