Yes, that's how I've done it. Make sure you run each instance on a separate machines (virtual or physical) too. JBT doesn't like other instances running along side (there's a separate thread somewhere about this). I'm still working on the code to actually capture the data correctly. I know Eugene and Marcus have created the base strategies for ES and CL to make sure we're mining the correct contracts on any given day, but I'm not sure about the other symbols. The base strategies are there for other symbols, but I'm not sure if they always get the right (most fluid) contract. Maybe someone can shed some light on this question?
