Hi.

I want to run multiple trading strategies live on a paper trading account to track their performances and decide on which one to deploy live with real money.  
How can I do this with Alpaca?  
Thanks

Hi @ay2025 ,

You could start 2 paper trading accounts and run your strategies separately on each one of them. That way, you can monitor the individual performances of your strategies separately.

FYI, Alpaca allows you to open upto 3 paper trading accounts.

Thanks
