Is it possible to limit a strategy to only one active instance?

Hi,

I'm in the process of developing a strategy for distribution, and I was wondering if there is anyway I can limit the customers to only running one instance of the strategy at a time on their computer?

Thanks,

richp6,

I am happy to assist you.

Unfortunately there is no supported way to do this. You can however use instance ID's in C# to limit the usage of your strategy.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Adam,

Can you point me to a guide on how I might be able to program this? I'm only an intermediate programmer at best ;-).

Thanks,
