## Running multiple instances of Freqtrade
This section will show you how to run multiple bots a the same time, on the same machine.
This section will show you how to run multiple bots at the same time, on the same machine.
### Things to consider
* use different database files.
* use different telegram Bots (requires 2 different configuration files).
* use different ports (applies only when webserver is enabled).
* Use different database files.
* Use different Telegram bots (requires multiple different configuration files; applies only when Telegram is enabled).
* Use different ports (applies only when Freqtrade REST API webserver is enabled).
#### Different database files
### Different database files
In order to keep track of your trades, profits, etc., freqtrade is using a SQLite database where it stores various types of information such as the trades you performed in the past and the current position(s) you are holding at any time. This allows you to keep track of your profits, but most importantly, keep track of ongoing activity if the bot process would be restarted or would be terminated unexpectently.

Freqtrade will, by default, use seperate database files for dry-run and live bots (this assumes no database-url is given in either configuration nor via command line argument).
For live trading mode, the default database will be `tradesv3.sqlite`, and for dry-run, it will be `tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`.

For live trading mode, the default database will be `tradesv3.sqlite` and for dry-run it will be `tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`.
The optional argument to the trade command used to specify the path of these files is `--db-url`, which requires a valid SQLAlchemy url.
So when you are starting a bot with only the config and strategy arguments in dry-run mode, the following 2 commands would have the same outcome.

That means that if you are running the trade command in two different terminals, for example to test your strategy both for trades in USDT and in another instance for trades in BTC, you will have to run them with different databases.
