is it possible to open betangel twice and run two separate strategies on the same market without them affecting each other? (don't see the two opened betangel the matched unmatched bets - like in practice mode)

If you're using them on the same account, then each instant of BA will show the same bets, regardless of whether they were submitted from BA or the Betfair website.

You can run more than one instance, with different strategies, but you do have to think through the issue

Yes, i know it. But I'm thinking here that if I open the second betangel, it should not see the matched/unmatched bets, and vice versa. This data comes from betfair. But can't you change it somehow so that they come from your own memory, like in the practice mode?

No. Derek is correct about that. In theory, your cousin could have an account with betfair that you run on your computer...

This is my biggest bug-bear with BA. You can have two profitable strategies but they can accidentally interact with each other and convert both into loss making strategies. We have the facility to Store information of the last bet matched so why not the same option for the last bet placed. Once we have the Bet ID we can use it to ID/isolate this bet from other bets placed by other strategies.

customerStrategyRef is the field for the API

Ahh, so is that like the "Magic Number" in MTL4 and 5? It ID's the strategy used to place the bet. Nice, but ... I don't use the API. I have no idea how to code it nor any real desire to do so ... I'm too old to try/want to learn another language. If it's in the API why can't we have it in Guardian SV's and Conditions?
