Can someone please point me where i can run multiple instances ie total seperate instances. im sure somewhere on this forum it shows you to go in windows explorers in the bet angel folder and makes a couple of tweaks to a file name to ensure its not the same instance being opened up twice. If i open the same betangel up twice its basically the same thing, i hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Perhaps there is a reason why you need to do it this way? But, I use multiple instances and just open them both up from the same location and they both then operate independently from each other.

Only reason to have a duplicate of the BA files is to have entirely different log file recording.
This doesn't affect me so to start a 2nd/3rd/Nth instance I just double click on icon on desktop for a new one.

Mine comes up as the same as other instance eg if i have a position on it will show it in teh 2nd instance.

one of my strategies greens up at the start of the race and the issue is its closing down other trades that should be greened out

Your position in the market and any profit/loss/liability is associated to your Betfair account, not the instance.
It's the same as if looking on the Betfair webpage.

You can request a second account from Betfair but believe need to be paying expert fee or within its criteria.

Thanks all for your answers. Is there a way then i have say Strategy A that greens up before the off and Strategy B that doesnt green off and goes in play to only green up Strategy A? Its possible the same horses are in strategy A and B but i only want whatever i have in strategy A eg $100 lay on Horse Z to green UP. tHANKS.
