Running Multiple Bots

[Emtaxx]

Hello all,

It's been a while hope you're all good!

I've been working on a few things in the back ground and have finally realised how you make money in the markets. (A top tip from me is data processing is more important than any bot you make!).

So I want to run multiple bots adding on to the 1 I already have, however I'm not sure what/how's best to do this.

i.e. if I run 1 BA window and upload another 2 in automation nominated 2 and 3 will this therefore lag or delay automation nominated 1due to the additional processing?

My worry is that I have done months of data collecting on only 1 bot running. If I then add another 2 bots or more then the edge I've designed will not be as accurate and could make mistakes.

Can I open up 3 windows of BA and run them all separately or is that a breach of BA rules? I don't want to do something by accident and get penalised by it is all.

or is it safe to run all bots in one window?

Thanks in advance!

Multiple instances of BA works well, although I'm not aware of anyway to identify bets that individual bets place so I currently run my bots on different markets / timeframes to avoid for example an matched bet placed by one bot being picked up by another bot condition.

Something else I have recently discovered elsewhere in the forum is the use of the BA API, combined with coupons and a Python script to load the markets and apply automation at set times each day. This means you can just leave everything running hands off for extended periods.

Thank you SpikeyBob! Cheers

In regards to ID your bet I just used fixed staking and then change the last digit of whatever ££££ you’re using.

In addition to that you can also get Python to retrieve the pnl per strategy\per runner via the BA API, and dump the results to a spreadsheet\csv, giving you an "at a glance" running total per strategy

I may even have posted some code around achieving that
