Launching, Stopping and Deleting an Instance

Launching an Instance

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

  • In the algo list to the left, click on the '+ Add Instance' field underneath a cBot and all its existing instances.
  • In the home screen of the 'Algo' application, click on the green 'Start cBot' button underneath a cBot in the central screen.
  • On the dedicated page for a specific cBot, click on the green 'Start cBot' button in the upper-right corner.
  • Right-click on a cBot in the algo list. In the context menu, click on 'Start cBot'.
  • Double-click on a cBot in the algo list.

You will be presented with a window 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 'Algo' app. If it stops for whatever reason, tap on the green 'Play' icon to restart it. Alternatively, right-click on an instance and select 'Start cBot instance' in the context menu.

Stopping an Instance

You have several options for stopping a running instance.

  • When in the 'Algo' application, click on the grey 'Stop' icon to the right of the instance you want to stop.
  • On the dedicate page for an instance, click on the grey 'Stop cBot Instance' button in the upper-right corner.
  • Right-click on an instance and select 'Stop cBot instance' in the context menu.

Note that, after being stopped, your instance will not be deleted; it will still be shown in the 'Algo' application. You can restart it by using any of the methods for starting an instance.

Note

Apart from stopping it manually, an instance can also be stopped automatically for various reasons such as a lack of response from the server.

Deleting an Instance

You can delete an instance by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Remove cBot instance' in the context menu.

Note

It is only possible to delete stopped instances. You cannot delete an instance that is currently running.

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 via all the usual methods.
