Algos are anaware of one another, so they can work on the same instrument and even the same TF.
They can even open opposite positions provided you have set that option with the IG settings (I think it’s called Force Option).

Within your strategy replace the first time with variable a1 (or any name you wish) and the second time with a2.
Then click on the spanner, upper left corner of your backtest window and add those two variables assigning each of them a starting and an ending value, in my example for a1 I entered from 090000 to 210000 (always enter 6 digits, though leading 0’s will be dropped) with a step of 010000 (1 hour, or 003000 for half an hour, or 000100 for 1 minute).
Enter the desired values to be optimized also for a2.
Close the variable window and backtest your trading system.

@GraHal can you be more specific and explain better than that?
Just kidding, thank you!
