			<description><![CDATA[<p>A different Demo account for each portfolio?&nbsp; I do NOT think that is what most people are doing -- at least, that&#039;s not the way I work.</p><p>Over time you&#039;ll be creating and testing 100&#039;s of portfolios.&nbsp; Do you really want to keep track of 100&#039;s of Demo accounts?</p><p>Also, some brokers may place a limit on the number of Demo accounts you can create.&nbsp; They may also place a time limit -- e.g. 1 month, 3 months -- and then the Demo account is deleted (along with all your historical data) -- which happened to me recently.</p><p>There are a few ways I can think of to limit the noise from other portfolios and strategies:<br />1. Choose your magic numbers wisely and then use Account History&#039;s sort facility.<br />2. Run a portfolio for a week and use Account History&#039;s &#039;Custom Period&#039; to filter-out older strategies by specifying the date range a particularly portfolio was actively trading.<br />3. And there are probably scripts and indicators available that allow you to select a particular range of magic numbers for analysis.&nbsp; Even if you are not a programmer -- this would be easy to code and could serve as a good first project.</p><p>And there may be other ways to roughly achieve what you are looking for.&nbsp; Since you probably shouldn&#039;t be spending that much time in a Demo account -- after all, it&#039;s just a sandbox that only approximates real trading -- then it seems that creating a Demo account for each portfolio is way overkill.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello folks, </p><p>I&#039;m curious as to how others do their demoing and what broker they use.&nbsp; I have been using LMFX as there are no FIFO rules but it&#039;s been a pain.&nbsp; </p><p>Does everyone use 1 demo account and just add every EA/Portfolio to that?&nbsp; I prefer to have 1 portfolio to 1 demo account so i can see how each is doing while demoing and I can have an accurate trade history and balance with no noise from other portfolios in it.&nbsp; I am finding it&#039;s a little annoying to run multiple copies of the LMFX MT4 open at once but it works for what it does.</p><p>Thanks<br />Dan</p>]]></description>
