I would not run two instances of JBookTrader on the same machine, as they may interfere with one another. For example, the JBT preferences are stored in the registry (on Windows systems) and the lat files (on Unix systems). But it's totally safe to run more than one instance of JBT, one instance per machine. That would also mean two TWS instances, each one opening a distinct port, and JBookTrader connecting to that port.
Incidentally, if the purpose is to run in the paper-trading account, it would be better to use a real account and run in the forward testing mode. Yet another way is to have a single JBT instance, but instead of running the test strategies, run the real ones, and then backtest the test strategies using the recorded market data. Does that make sense? On Friday, May 10, 2013 3:09:18 PM UTC-4, Borg Alexander wrote: > > It is obvious that the ports must be different.
