Launching a new instance of the software will launch a completely separate instance of the software. This is very handy for running a different strategy or for betting on different markets.
ie you could have one instance in live mode and one in sim mode.
Bearing in mind you can run multiple systems in one instance you should not start a new instance if not necessary as there are betfair data limits and you may request more API calls and be blocked depending on how many markets you are running.
Simply start a new instance by clicking the desktop icon again.
It is possible to run multiple bots on the same Betfair account.
When logging in always make sure you choose the correct instance.
It will remember the last one you used.
There is an instance manager where you can add or edit instances.
You can then rename this instance to whatever you like such as greyhound1
or horse strategy 2 or soccer etc.
If the instance selected is already running you will get a warning as shown above.
Once an instance has been opened the instance is locked and cannot be used until that bot is closed.
This makes running several bots very easy and manageable.
Instance Manager
You can manage the instances you create using the instance manager.
Just click on the Instance manager button drop down to expand its view.
The drop down also shows the instances you have available.
You can delete or rename instances from here. If you un-install the program the instances
are not removed. So you can un-install and re-install a new version and your settings and strategies will be saved.
