Hi,

I've been using BA for a while in LIVE mode but mainly in practice mode and it's only now that I've tried to use BA guardian on the same market with 2 instances in LIVE mode running automations that I've noticed the bets from the guardian placing the bets are showing in the other guardian and therefore showing up in the Matched/Unmatched, Market and Daily P&L columns and since these are different strategies it's causing confusion especially when exporting to a spreadsheet.

In the logs in the other guardian it shows no bet was placed, I've even tried using different machines and still get the issue, in practice mode there is no problem so I take it's using Betfair for bets placed/matched ?

Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation in the software, is there a workaround I could try?

Matched and unmatched bets etc in markets will show up everywhere you view that market as you are viewing the same Betfair account.
Ie, If you login via the Betfair website you'll see them there too

The Bet Angel logs show the activity within that instance of Bet Angel

If you want to export the logs at the end of the day and want separate log files from each you'll need to install Bet Angel into a second directory and run the second instance from the and so on for a third

There are instructions in this post on how to create and run Bet Angel from a 2nd directory

Thanks for the quick reply and clarification Dallas, I guess I was hoping that even though it's the same Betfair account Guardian would still be able to differentiate which bets it placed and therefore not keep a total for the P&L columns in another guardian that did not place the bets.

Different folders it is then :D

Thanks once again for the quick reply.
