cAlgo instances
04 Jun 2013, 13:07


Hi:

I would like to install and run several cAlgo instances in parallel under the same Windows 8 user account.  For example: cAlgoA1 and cAlgoA2 for broker A and cAlgoB1 and cAlgoB2 for broker B.  Is there any way to keep this 4 installations independent (directories, settings, etc.).

Thanks in advance.

You can use a Virtual Machine such as : VMWare or Windows Virtual PC

With VMWare player you can run multiple instances of windows on a single machine. On each Windows instance you can run a totally isolated cAlgo instance.

Well jsut launch cAlgo as many instances as you want. cAlgo can run on multiple instances on Windows.

You cannot have separated settings for the same broker.

Yes, but using the same directory and settings, if you modify a robot or change something that affect the other instances and that is what I want to avoid...

I agree with this as a feature request

I have nearly identical requirements.   It seems like this should be a feature built into the application.   Otherwise it makes it difficult to run multiple copies with different configurations.
