It's been a few years but I may finally be at the point of having a profitable intraday strategy. I would like to implement an additional strategy on top of my current one – basically the current strategy I have only does long positions, and I would like to deploy essentially the same strategy but short as well. I've seen a couple posts on having multiple strategies under one account (e.g., the two attached posts) but as I understand they are still running under one live node. The strategy is fairly latency dependent and I'd like it to run as fast as possible, so I would prefer to run a separate node for longs and shorts. However, ideally I could still have both strategies under the same trading account, especially so I don't have to have two accounts >$25K to get over PDT. Is it possible to do so with QuantConnect? Also, both strategies will share a lot of the same code, and it would be convenient for them to share the exact code files, although it wouldn't be unbearable to just copy+paste new code versions to both strategies if needed. Sorry if this post seems basic, but I just wanted to have some of the details clarified since I'll need to start considerably refactoring my code to add the shorts. Thanks.

Hi Dahui
Sorry we do not support multiple algorithms for single account. We recommend multi-alpha framework implementation. You may also consider size the order size to half for both algorithm and combine them into a single algorithm.
