All three, side by side

One opening-range breakout and two range fades, on gold and the Nasdaq, in three different sessions. Same year, same risk, one trade a day each. This page pools them.

%

Every percentage here is R × risk. R values, win rate and profit factor do not move.

04Do they move together?

Correlation of monthly R. Near zero means a bad month in one says nothing about the others.

05Trades on the same day

They can fire on the same day, and a prop firm's daily loss limit counts the day, not the trade.

The worst single day across all three was -2.09 R โ€” -5.24% at 2.5% risk. A 3% daily limit is breached by two full losses at 2.5% risk, so position size has to be set for the number of strategies running, not for one of them.
