Tracking performance of automation

[Luke.B]

How do you guys track dif automation strategies' results that are running at the same time?

One way is to use different accounts.

Another is to use different stakes: e.g. 10.11, 10.22 etc

There is another way but not using BA

[Luke.B]

Dif accounts. I dont understand that one.
I like the dif stakes. Good for back. Trickier for lay unless it is without projection.
Intrigued about ofher way...

1. You could conceivably get your mum a betfair account and use that, in theory, or an MSA account, but they're not readily available

2. You can lay to lose $50/$55 easily enough

3. You can use the API and use something called customerstrategyref and tag each set of bets

Thanks i do lays dif but i think i can use that for testing purposes.

Luke just be mindful of how partial matches will affect your ability to separate your bets if you're hoping to use stake as a differentiator.

Is there anyway to setup different instances of BA to output their logs to different folders?

[Luke.B]

Good point. When you say seperate BA, can you elaborate for me.
I currently use vps.
Do i create an admin and a user for vps and then run seperate BA, i did this a while ago but cant remember my reasoning.
I worry though that this limits me to two seperate auto strategies.
Is there another way where we can somehow use logs to show triggered bets and bet sizes and automation Rule names?

Not sure if that would work or not. It would be similiar to what was suggested a while back about using signals to identify different strategies. If you have 5 bots on each market and a couple of dozen rules files in each one then it might work for the opening part of the trade but the closing part would probably get lost on the log in the noise especially when you have several log entries within a second or two of each other.

Would love to know if others can make it work but for now what I do is analyse the data at the end of the week not the profits. It won't show where your profits come from but it will show you in broad terms what part is working and what isn't.

You'll need to duplicate the Bet Angel folder in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Bet Angel Limited\Bet Angel - Professional' to make a second copy of the application and then edit the file BetAngel.exe.config in that folder..... you'll see a line <add key="ConfigName" value="Bet Angel Professional"/> you could change that to <add key="ConfigName" value="Bet Angel Professional 2"/> and you'll have a completely seperate work area as if the two instances were running on different PCs.
