run multiple instances of the platform
25 Oct 2024, 07:52


hi, to better handle multiple bots usage, given that each bot in turn has multiple instances, is it possible to install/run multiple platform togheter on the same VPS?

i see you don't allow users to choose the installation path…so is there any way to achieve what I'm asking, over to rent different VPS?

Hi there,

There is no reason to install the platform multiple times. Just open as many instances of the platform as you need.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Ok, thanks for the solution provided.

Actually there's a reason: if I install the bots locally on the cTrader specific instance (so without online sync), I would have no chance to get confused and run the bot on the wrong instance. I might also create a shortcut on the desktop with the name of the bot and i would know that in that instance I could run the bot without worring of run the wrong one. Also, the instance would remember the last broker account used and propose it to me already selected on startup.

Just forward this feedback to the deveolpers team for an evaluation, please :)

Hi there,

You don't need separate installations for this, you can use multiple profiles.
