Starting, Stopping and Deleting an Instance¶

Starting an Instance¶

After receiving access to a cBot, you can create a new instance as follows.

• In the 'cBots' tab of the 'Algo' application, tap on the 'Add Instance' button located below the list of all currently running instances of a specific cBot.
• Open the algo page for a specific cBot, and tap on the green 'Start cBot' button at the bottom.

You will be presented with a screen allowing you to set up your new instance. The screen will show the following.

• The account on which the instance is supposed to run
• The symbol and timeframe to which the instance is supposed to be attached
• Any advanced parameters that the cBot has

After configuring the instance, tap on the green 'Start cBot' button at the bottom.

Your instance will also be added to the instance list in the 'cBots' tab. If it stops for whatever reason, tap on the green 'Play' icon to restart it or go to the instance screen and tap on 'Start cBot Instance'.

Stopping an Instance¶

You have two options for stopping a running instance.

• In the 'cBots' tab, tap on the grey 'Stop' icon to the right of the instance name
• Tap on an instance to see its dedicated page. At the bottom, tap on the grey 'Stop cBot Instance' button.

Note that, after being stopped, your instance will not be deleted; it will still be shown in the 'cBots' tab. You can restart it by tapping on the green 'Play' button in the cBot list or the 'Start cBot Instance' on the instance screen.

Deleting an Instance¶

You can delete an instance by tapping on it and opening its page. Then, tap on the 'three dots' icon in the bottom right corner to open the context menu. In the menu, tap on 'Delete cBot Instance'

After deleting an instance, you still retain access to the algorithm. If you delete all instances of a particular algorithm, you will still be able to create new instances of this algorithm.
