Here we are again, another bespoke bot strategy I developed last week, and the need for some instruction tutorial. From previous time I learned that it is not so good idea to deliver bespoke bot solution in assembly files. In such case user must extract files and copy them to bfexplorer app folder. ...
Another prediction price is forecast price betfair offers in horse meta data, and here is simple bot trigger using this value: HorseRacingForecastPriceBotTrigger.fsx
There are quite a lot of different strategies using betfair SP to trigger trading on horse racing markets. If you want to test this strategy: HorseRacingFarPriceBotTrigger.fsx You can change it to fulfill your requirements for factor value. In my case I use FarPrice NearPrice difference value.

Sir, you edited previous text, are you really serious? My comment to this post then make no sense, no attached video. I cannot believe that.

In the application toolbar there is button: “Use Bet Event Trader”, clicking on it switches your user interface between ladder one and market grid view.
In bfexplorer terms we call ladders UI (User Interface): “Bet Event Trader” view and grid is simply: “Bet Event” view.
Now you can resize or reorganize your views like you want to, switching off not used views or switching on all views you want to use, and then save your layout clicking on View menu item: Workspaces / Add.
This way you can create different named views - workspaces, for instance I have got “Bot” and “Trading” workspaces. Yes, the trading workspace has ladders, so “Bet Event Trader” view, as the main UI to show market data.
In my blog you can see different workplaces for football or tennis trading. You can switch between saved workspaces using View / Workspaces / My Workspaces / and selecting one you want to use.
Last used workspace is automatically loaded when you restart/reopen bfexplorer app.

That's absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for all your help !

Install the latest version of bfexplorer, I have just added Home/AwayNumberOfRedCards and CornersDifference to Football bot Start/StopCriteria parameters.
Tony
That seems a very good tool for football trading. Wouldn't it be possible to include/use some of these parameters on a Football Bot ? Or at least the Red Cards information that can change the whole course of a match ?

I can understand only what is asked, not what you think.
Just common sense when we are talking about number of api calls to betfair api, to minimize you need to monitor as less as markets as needed using reasonable update interval.
I do not know on what markets you run your strategy, or what exactly you do, so how could I advise?
Graf, asked:
“It could make some sense not to make so many calls until the first goal is scored and there is no active bet and most of all if the match ends 0-0. Am I right?”
So I can only understand that he executes his strategy on football/soccer markets.
Bfexplorer does not implement adjustable update interval, I mean feature that bot will automatically switch update interval for some markets that is the role of bespoke betfair app developed exactly for customer needs.

I described such tool for football trades who use match details, score, time, some statistics to decide if they open market/s, and trade on them.
This tool updates market data only for in-play markets in 5 seconds interval.

Please understand that this discussion was (and still is) about on how to reduce Betfair data reading calls to prevent further API delays. Thank you

Graf, this discussion was about how any bot operates on a market when bets are placed, not about exact strategy and how to execute it as effective as possible.

It could make some sense not to make so many calls until the first goal is scored and there is no active bet and most of all if the match ends 0-0. Am I right ?
