Would be great to be able to create virtual banks so that you can use different strategies on different banks. I've been trying to run different automations in unison, but find that they get in each others way (due to conditions such as number of unmatched bets and so on) and as a result both get triggered less often than they should. It will also help assess how each automation/strategy is doing on it's own.

sa7med, The crude method I use is execute live, give each strategy a different stake (eg £0.01, £0.02 etc), dump Bet History to Excel and sort by stake.

albeit that's for strategies taking outright positions rather than needing to adjust stakes to trade.

Yep, although it would be great if Betfair actually did that.

Or at the very least let you tag each item in the P/L statement, e.g. tag this Match Odds market as LayTheDraw, etc.

I don't use a virtual bank but I store all my transactions in a Microshit Access database so I could easily tag transactions, filter them or link separate tables of transactions.

You can actually already tag orders by taking advanatage of the customerRef and customerStrategyRef fields, not sure why BA doesn’t.

Virtual/multiple wallets has been requested a lot but I can imagine it being a huge piece of work for betfair.

They never seemed to have any problem adopting the casino and poker wallets back in the day, I guess these days they keep the balance all under one wallet in case people cant be bothered to play their slots cos of the hassle of transferring funds.

Hey LinusP, I forgot to thank you for pointing this out a while back, it's opening up interesting scenarios for live testing multiple strategies at the same time.
