When Should I Run More Than Two Gunbot Instances?

One real-trading instance and one dedicated spot simulator cover most Gunbot Unlimited setups. Add more instances when you want to split a large workload, isolate exchanges, or improve latency to a particular exchange API.

A simple default is:

Main trading
Spot simulator

Add extra instances when you want to:

  • split a large number of pairs on one exchange across several instances so each bot has less work per processing round;
  • isolate exchanges so a problem on one bot does not affect every exchange account;
  • run a bot in a location with better latency to a particular exchange API;
  • keep specialized futures or development work separate from the main trading bot.

For most setups, the real-trading bot and spot simulator are enough.
