I use Vista, but can try on W2k3,
I use 5 FSTs on 1 MT4,
I have not tried to use 5FSTs on 5 different brokers.
Alternatively you can run spit the load of one OS to multiple Virtual , run Sunbox or VMware.

The previous three are apparently working well. Why van you run 5 FST and me just 3?  hmm

No, I use the same strategy on all of FST. What I want to check is how my strategy works on different brokers.

When I click "Continue" an new error window pops up.  sad  It simply crashes.

What OS are you using? I'm with Windows Server 2003.

In first case did you tried press "Continue"?
I have some times the same error, but if click "continue" it works ok.
I ran 5 of them at the same time, you need to attach MT4 EA to the same TF as FSB/FST strategy trades.
If it doesn't help, PM to Popov , maybe he will come and help.

I'm afraid it doesn't work, at least on my PC. I firstly tried your way. I installed FST once and then cloned it three time, so I got 4 different folders for it, as you can see here.

http://i39.tinypic.com/35bw6j7.jpg

I clicked on "Allow multiple..." option as I opened them one by one. The first three run without problem, but when I tried the fourth one, this message popped up:

http://i41.tinypic.com/10f8h8x.jpg

It simply crashed!  sad

Then I tried what Popov suggested. I run the same FST several times (again "Allow multiple.." option activated. Again, the same result but with a different window error: This one:

http://i40.tinypic.com/10sgq44.jpg

So my question is, why ALWAYS the last run/copy makes the program crashes. Is there any limit of open executions simultaneously? Apparently not, but it happens to me once and again  sad

Thank you  very much for your response.

Even Mr. Popov said you can run from one folder multiple stratagies, I find it inconvinient, as when aplication crashes or you need restart it you need to specify stratagy location each time instead of just execute  Forex Strategy Trader.exe file.
What I did:  installed FST and then cloned the installation folder 5 times for 5 diffirent stratagies.
it looks like that:
D:\Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID01
D:\Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID02
D:\Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID03
D:\Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID04
D:\Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID05
2. You need to enable "allow multiple FST" to run :  http://s2.postimage.org/AM0Ei.jpg

hopefully it helps.

P.S. have you watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPNZAjmUmWA
I think it is straight forward.

Thank you very much for your help. If I understand you correctly, I tried what you say and I found the problem I explained a few messages before. When I tried to run the second FST while the first one was open, an error window popped up with a message warning that no more FST can be run.

What do you exactly mean when you say "different folders", please?  sad

Thank you very much in advance

Haven't tried from one folder yet.

The good ones are that I finally got it with two MT platforms. As Popov said, I run FST two times and had no problem to insert ID. The bad news come from my third run atempt. I don't know why, but it does not initialize the program. It spends hours and hours loading something but the program never opens.  hmm

Is 2 the maximum amount of simultaneous runs of FST?

Thank toy very much in advance.

How can I insert more than one ID in FST? If I understand Popov correctly, I don't need more than one FST installation. I've been trying to insert more than one ID, but to no avail so far.

I hope this will be my last question.  smile

Oh, even better!
Does FST monitor ID on open positions (from Comments section) or Magic Number?
I set up Magic number = ID number to be more granular..
Thx.

That's not necessary. After activating  "Allow multiple working copies of FST" option, someone can simply run FST multiple times from a single installation. Each copy (with unique ID) can be used for trading on different MT chart.

Several FST copies can also trade on one and the same MT chart. In this case they will act as one complex strategy.

Just copy the Trader folder and open a new instance from copied one.
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID01
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID02
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID03
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID04
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID05
Forex Strategy Trader v1.0.0.0_ID06
In Expert Adviser properties Set N and Magic N if you trade on the same platform. it will open trades like that: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1298/20100425-kuht-61kb.jpg

Could you please tell me how can I open more than one FST at the same time?

Thank you very much in advance.
