Hello,
I was wondering if there is a suggested test setup for conducting multiple market out of sample testing. The issue I'm having is that if I create 1 account and install many markets in that account, a conflict of symbol names prevents me from keeping everything in one place. For some markets the number of conflicting symbol names is big. However, keeping every market in one account, would expedite the process of running out of sample testing from the AI optimizer. Instead I'm thinking of creating a single account for each market and then copying trading systems that show good results in optimization. But this is cumbersome because it involves not only switching accounts, but updating data and copying trading systems.
What is the suggested approach for conducting multiple market out of sample testing ?

Thanks !

Hi,

You can either use Symbol -> Auto-Manage Symbols, check your exchanges then update the "Name" field to "Yahoo Symbol".

Or you can create have one exchange per account then transfer your trading items like this:
