Let's say you want to you run multiple algorithms on your live trading portfolio, let's say two algorithms. Is there a way to set the maximum total portfolio allocation to each algorithm in the initialize method?
In this case of running two algorithms in a single account, how would you allocate only 50% buyer power to each algorithm? Or would the best practice be to have one account per algorithm?

Hi John,
Right now, only one algorithm can be deployed to any live account. Deploying a second algorithm to the same account will result in connection interruptions and failure to deploy both. It is best to have one account per algorithm.
Alternatively, if you are using the Framework models, you can use a Composite Alpha Model to accomplish your goal. Each Alpha model will emit its own signals based on the model, so you can effectively trade two algorithms inside of one live deployment to your account.
