I am running multiple bots with different strategies and occasionally I also place bets manually. Therefore I frequently run into the problem that I need to know which order was placed by which bot. Is there a way in the new API to identify an order placed by a specific bot? I know, I can add a "customerRef" parameter to the placeOrders request, but if the order is matched later, I cannot retrieve this parameter with the listCurrentOrders. Does anyone know a method to overcome this problem?

I use a database. A name of the bet is included in the bet table. I got a naming convetion of, animal,markettype, betside, and some parmeters for the particular bet.
Horses-win-lay-8.4-12.0
Would be a lay-bet on a horserace win market where the runner at bet-time had a lay-odds between 8.4 and 12.0
Later i fill in profit as well. Then i can keep track of profitable strategies and bad ones.
Of course, a botname could be added.

Use identifiable bet sizes eg
bot 1 £x.99
bot 2 £x.89
bot 3 £x.79Comment

I thought this is what the customer ref number in the placeorder is used for. This has to be unique for each current bet, but you could use a naming convention ie
Bot 1 - "Lay???????", where ?????? is a date and time stamp ?
Bot 2 - "Arb???????"
Bot 3 - "Back?????"Comment

I think that using a db is a great help for analyzing results later. But it might be
My day-time job that affects me, I program using a db every day.
Not everybody is comfortable with it.
