Post From: Continuous monitoring multiple symbols problem

1- As another solution, I've thought that maybe if I split the symbol list into 4 or 5 sublists, and then I execute 4 or 5 chartbooks at the same time (each one containing a sublist) then it would work better as it doesn´t have to go over the full list. Is that correct?

It is better than the situation of having them all in 1 list. As to which will be better for performance, you would need to try each and see how it works for you.

2- I also would like to execute a trade in SIM ACCOUNT when alert is true (I have a "spreadseet system for trading" inside as a study, with the "Buy Signal" cell filled). Will the trade be executed in every single symbol the alert is detected?

The issue with this is that you need to ensure that the condition to execute a trade in the spreadsheet (Buy Entry/Sell Entry) is reset with each symbol. This is necessary, as the signal needs to go from False to True to actually indicate a condition to act on. If it just stays as True, then there is nothing to tell it to actually do anything.
