Bots from a paper account trading live

Bug info:

I noticed today that two bots from a paper account have been trading on my real account for almost a month now.

I had no idea that this was possible and did not pay attention to the fact that in the properties of the bot on the paper account is a real exchange and the bots have already lost more than a hundred dollars.

Have you confirmed that positions were opened in the exchange and is not a name display bug?

But shouldn’t only paper exchanges be visible in paper mode?

Yes, I confirm. I have a separate subaccount on Bybit to work with Gainium, and just today when I went to look at the stats there, I noticed these transactions, wondering where the transactions from Solana came from, since I only have 2 bitcoin bots running.

I used the strategy from this thread for this bots. I hope it can help.

Hi there,

We investigated the issue. Unfortunately we are not able to reproduce it, but our best guess is that when the context switched from live to paper, the bot was saved before it loaded the paper exchange info and used the default, which in this case was the live one. It’s the first time we encountered this issue, we have added additional checks so it should not be a problem going forward. The bots are in profit so you may close them now if you want.
