BotTriggers are not distributed with bfexplorer app instalation. You can either download them from my gist, or when testing some of strategies on Betfair AI Trading community.

Really impressive use case. I’ve been integrating the same Strategy Expert Prompt and found it drastically improves clarity when chaining multiple strategies. What blew me away was how quickly it aligned execution logic like ShareBetPosition and StrategyNames into a working config. Massive time-saver and helps bridge the gap between concept and automation. 🔄 Curious—has anyone tested this with dynamic triggers (e.g., price movement or volume thresholds) layered into the sequence?

just don't forget to check the VPS country, because I bought one in Germany but unfortunately, I cannot use it due to restrictions

what errors are you getting?

LastPriceTraded and you must run Cancel Strategies on Selection on all selections. 

The other alternative is write your own custom trigger bot script.

When compiling you certainly have got errors, so just read the errors and try to fix the problem.

The same project is included to my bfexplorer app solution, just to check possible compatibility issues if I had changed anything in the code base of the SDK. I have got no compiling errors for this project.

I did not yet released SDK for preview version which is build on .net 7/8.

Yes, use web page to login, in the Application / Settings, then when login you will use betfair web page login dialog with two factor authentication. 

Hey

I have installed the preview version after your email today. Looks great so far.

Thanks for the support.

There are two versions of bfexplorer apps. The old version released on 28th March 2023. This app version is built on .net framework 4.8

The latest version I call the preview is relaesed o .net 7, and you can install it from the link above, from my dropbox drive.

This preview version contains the latest version of new bot stratregies like the one described in this post: Execute Strategy Rules Bot

Hi

Looking forward to the new release, im a new user and finding the application to be the best of its kind after trialling most versions of BetFair approved applications.

Keep up the good work.

Yes, I always monitor task manager cpu and memory usage. But what I want to ask is which V.P.S. (Virtual Private Server) service and ideal configuration do you recommend as the best to run bfexplorer. thank you

Open Task Manager and check how much CPU and Memory your bfexplorer app uses on your desktop pc. Bfexplorer uses really small amount of CPU but used memory depends on how much markets you open, or how many bot strategies you executes concurrently.

When using Strategy Bot Executor tool, markets are monitored only from set time and when bot strategy ends its execution the market monitoring is automatically stopped.

Quite strange:

I am looking for an experienced F# programmer to assist me with a project involving Betfair. Specifically, my project requires a script that can be run on Betfair’s bf explorer. The script needs to have the capability to place bets, based on a detailed strategy I have in place. My end goal is to efficiently place bets and manage them without too much hassle. I am expecting that the total timeline from start to finish should be less than two weeks for this project. The successful freelancer will have extensive knowledge and experience in F# programming as well as Betfair.Applicants with prior experience with using bfexplorer on Betfair are strongly encouraged to apply. Do you think you are a good fit for this project? I look forward to hearing from you soon!

When open Execute Trigger Strategy dialog, either by adding or updating the strategy, select TriggerParameters and in the right column click on …

Trigger Parameters dialog appears and there type:

CsvFile

and to other column:

c:\run.csv

Select BotName/StrategyName and in next column click on …

Here you can choose your strategy, of course you must create such strategy before, using any of existing strategies like Place Bet and so on.

The strategies represents exact betting or trading strategy you can parameterized by entering different values to available strategy parameters.

Execute Trigger Strategy just triggers execution on dedicated selection/s, and what is executed is defined by the parameter: BotName/StrategyName

ok, so which trgger parameters require setting:

currently i have set

name         value

HorseRacingCsvSelectionBotTrigger loads csv file where you define selection name (horse name) and strategy to execute on this selection/horse.

CSV file must use ; as the field separator.

Yes, if no data are in csv file or there is no selection with set horse name then bot execution does nothing, ends execution.

MySelectionsBotTrigger script is simpler one. The csv file contains just selection names, so loads the file defined by parameter CsvFile, you put there the full path name of the cvs file.

If on a market there is your selection/s then strategy is executed on those selections. The strategy is set by BotName/StrategyName in the Bot/Strategy dialog.

I do not remember for whom I made those two scripts, but the functionality of any script/code can be known by reading the code. If you wan to learn exactly what is going on when the script code is executed, you should build bot assembly from the script, then you can debug the code, like I do here:

http://bfexplorer.net/Products/BfexplorerBotSDK

All scripts were programmed to the old version of bfexplorer.

The preview release have a problem with compiling the script, so you actually have to use the second path of bot execution, so making from the script the bot assembly you can execute with the Execute Trigger Strategy.

im trying to get then to work via the execute trigger bot

files tried

HorseRacingCsvSelectionBotTrigger.fsx

MySelectionsBotTrigger.fsx

both bots dont seem to fire no trigger status information or anything just says bot start and bot stop

May I ask for link to the bot script are you trying to use?

I already shared an article explaining how you can manually initiate the Stop Strategies and Cancel Bets bot in markets that don't have an active score feed.

I'm curious, do you have any difficulties understanding written text?
