Yes of course. With custom backtester you can enter / exit / scale
any number of trades per signal.
But "normal" mode does that as well:
YourEntrySignal = ..... your code here
YourExitSignal = ..... your code here
if( Name() == "SYMBOL1" )
{
buy = YourEntrySignal;
sell = YourExitSignal;
}
if( Name() == "SYMBOL2" )
{
Short= YourEntrySignal;
Cover = YourExitSignal;
}
