My trial has ended and I never managed to get my idea to work (I'm not a programmer), but I am wondering if it is possible for the bot. If I back/lay a few horses in the same race at a range for example between 5 to 1 and 10 to 1, is it possible for the bot to keep track of only the odds of the backed/layed horses and initiate a reverse trade of the same horse(s) if the odds for that horse(s) drop/raise by a preset percentage? I understand the concept of initating a bet, but not tracking the odds on the backed horses and acting accordingly.

Hello. Since yesterday I have a delayed API on my BF Explorer trading software. I had no bots running when this happened and now I am also unable to trade as all stakes in the markets keep flashing all over the ladders on random odds, being absolutely impossible to figure out what was the last price ...

Time to process after market change
Assuming I want to implement a strategy where I place a bet once a price moves to price X, how long in real time would it take from the price moving on the Betfair server to BFexplorer placing the bet? How much of this is determined by my location and distance from server etc?

Is it possible to get notified when certain markets are loaded by Betfair and a certain amount of volume is available? Eg WNBA gets loaded quite late compared to other sports and it is frustrating to contually check.

Betfair Bot
There is no need to program anything, and I actually really wonder why you think you need to have programming skills to execute such strategy with bfexplorer.
To automate your betting or trading strategy you need to use a bot strategy, in this it is named / called:
“Close Selection Bet Position”
You need to set the parameter ProfitLossType to Percentage, and set your Profit and/or Loss target (set Loss to 0, if you do not want to close your bet position/ hedge it in loss)
Now you can execute your bot strategy on all selections on which you placed your bets. Or you can use the bot: “Execute on Selections”, to execute your “Close Selection Bet Position” on all selections.
