How many strategies should I deploy in a day?

The number of algo trading strategies you should deploy in a day depends on several factors, including your risk appetite, market conditions, and the type of strategies you’re using. There’s no fixed number, but here’s how you can decide:

Consider Your Trading Goals

  • Are you looking for high-frequency trades? You may need multiple strategies running simultaneously.
  • Are you focused on long-term trades? A single, well-optimised strategy might be enough.

Diversification vs. Overload

  • Running multiple strategies can reduce risk by spreading exposure across different market conditions.
  • However, deploying too many strategies at once can lead to excessive trades, increased costs, and conflicting signals.

Monitor Market Conditions

  • Volatile Markets: You may need fewer, well-tested strategies to manage risk.
  • Stable Markets: Multiple strategies can help capture different trading opportunities.

Optimise & Backtest Before Scaling Up

  • Start with 1-2 strategies, monitor performance, and gradually scale up.
  • Always backtest before live deployment.
  • Adjust based on market response and avoid unnecessary complexity.

Quality Over Quantity

Instead of focusing on the number of strategies, prioritise well-tested, optimised strategies that align with your trading style.
