Hey QuantConnect community!
I am wondering if there's any resource that would explain how you should manage having multiple algorithms running, and how you should spin up/down algorithms?
I believe each algorithm should have its own budget
I believe each algorithm should have its own open positions and orders
What happens if the server running the algorithm goes down? In that case, all of the state in memory is lost.
Would you simply track the budget and open positions whenever you spin up an algorithm?

Hey Kevin,
If you are talking about live trading, each instance of an algorithm is independent, with its own portfolio and orders. However, we don't allow deploying two projects to the same brokerage account because this may lead to portfolio allocation issues. You can learn more about deploying multiple algorithms in our documentation.
In the event that the algorithm disconnects, the algorithm will try to reconnect. If it cannot, it will exit with open positons. So that when you redeploy the algorithm, it will pick up the open orders.
