Is there a way to copy bot instances between servers?
29 Jul 2019, 09:00

Hi everyone / Team Spotware:

I would like to be able to copy the configurations I have for some bot instances on my local computer to servers on a VPS.

Is there a way to do this so I don't have so spend lots of time configuring each instance on the VPS?

If so, how?

I tried looking in the following folder and couldn't find any obvious such files/folders to copy:

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\cTrader

C:\Users\Admin\Documents\cAlgo

Thank you.

Hi FireMyst,

Go to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Broker cTrader\Settings and copy the settings file. It should copy your cBot instances to the computer.

Thanks. Before I try this, I want to confirm - will it copy ALL cTrader settings? Or only just the bot-instances and their settings?

I obviously don't want anything else I have configured between the two computers to be over-written.

Thank you.

Hi FireMyst,

It will override all locally saved settings not only bot instances.

Thanks @Panagiotis.

I have different settings between a VPS and my local computers.

So, this would be an obvious suggestion for SpotWare to consider changing for future version... so users can copy bot instances and their settings separately. Much like we can copy ".algo" files.

Thank you
