Multi-Timeframes, Symbols and Accounts

One of the most powerful features of Arconomy is the ability to trade across multiple timeframes, symbols and trading accounts within a single strategy. There is no special configuration or mode to enable — you simply add additional rules to the canvas.

Multiple Symbols and Timeframes

Arconomy supports multiple symbols and timeframes in the same strategy by configuring additional Price Data rules. Each Price Data rule defines the symbol, broker, timeframe and frequency for a data stream. To trade a second symbol or analyse a different timeframe, add another Price Data rule and configure it accordingly.

For example, you might have one Price Data rule streaming 1-minute XAUUSD candles for precise entry timing and a second Price Data rule streaming 1-hour XAUUSD candles for trend confirmation — both feeding into the same strategy logic. Alternatively, you could have separate Price Data rules for entirely different instruments such as XAUUSD and EURUSD, allowing your strategy to monitor and trade both symbols simultaneously.

Because each Price Data rule is an independent data source, you can mix and match any combination of symbols and timeframes. Other rules on the canvas — indicators, conditions, trade rules — simply connect to whichever Price Data rule provides the data they need. This makes it straightforward to build strategies that:

  • Combine multiple timeframes for the same symbol (e.g. a short timeframe for entries and a longer timeframe for trend direction)
  • Trade multiple symbols with the same logic applied to each
  • Trade multiple symbols with different logic tailored to each instrument
  • Use one symbol's data to inform trade decisions on another (e.g. using an index as a filter for individual stocks)

See the Price Data rule page for full details on configuring symbols, timeframes, frequencies and candle anchoring.

Multiple Trading Accounts

Arconomy also supports multiple trading accounts within the same strategy. Every strategy requires at least one Trading Account rule, which connects the strategy to a broker account. To trade across additional accounts, simply add more Trading Account rules to the canvas and configure each one for the desired account.

This is useful when you want a single strategy to execute trades on multiple broker accounts simultaneously — for example, placing the same trades on both a live account and a demo account, or splitting execution across accounts with different brokers or account types.

Each Trading Account rule provides its own set of output data (profit, equity, open positions, etc.), so rules further down the chain can reference account-specific values when making decisions. Place Trade rules are configured to target a specific Trading Account, giving you full control over which account receives each order.

See the Trading Account rule page for full details on configuring broker accounts and the output data available.
