I think you are confused from using other betfair api software/s.  

Bfexplorer separates market data updating to two services running in thread pool. This way you are able to set two different update intervals, the one for active market and the other for passive market/s.  

It means that if you set update interval for the active market to 20 ms, and your internet connection latency to betfair servers is 50 ms, then the market data are updated every 70 ms, what is around 14 times per second. 

Passive markets, and you maybe know that you can open really a lot of markets for monitoring with bfexplorer, are updated in batches (for 25 markets in one betfair api request), therefor bfexplorer backend services do not use a lot of threads, so there is no need for what you call: "Maximum Parallel Calls". 

Of course any bet operation is executed in thread pool, but in manual trading how many times per second are you able to click on ladder? So again, no performance degradation for bet operations. 

If you run automated bot strategies, so bets are placed by bfexplorer bots, and if you open for instance 100 markets on which you want to place bets, then of course if you want to place bets on 100 markets at the same time, then bfexplorer can open two many threads in thread pool, but the question is who would like to do so?  

In most automated strategies Bot Executor executes bots at set time relative to the official market start time, so for instance if you would run your bots on all football match odds markets 5 minutes before kick off then depending on how many matches is played in a day, too much bet threads is not opened, maximal 10 threads. 

Bot manages its bet position, so if bet place request has been sent, bot knows about api request result, and if necessary bet is placed again.  

Betfair streaming api uses totally different approach in market data updating, there is no request/response, bfexplorer subscribers for updates and updates are stream through established connection/socket. 

You can see differences in this video: Monitoring 64 Markets - Market/order Streaming

In the latest release of bfexplorer I have enabled market streaming option, you must restart bfexplorer when changing this option.

Hi Stefan,

I don`t trade horses directly from the racecourse, I trade from home not using any live pictures, just trading the numbers on the ladder interface, trade according to whether I think a horse will shorten or drift through spotting characteristic patterns on the back or layside...that is why I am asking if it is possible to build a "compressed ladder" on the spreadsheet (or without), where I don`t see all the ticks, and so I get a better overview over the whole ladder without having to scroll too much (the autocentre function is not very useful inplay as things go too fast).

So is it possible what I asked in my first post?

Cheers

You spammed asking him to contact you, offering him your help to develop what he had asked for. 

I did not say you are the spammer from 10 years ago. I said you and your country man are two spammers here only, I banned from 2007 till now, so as you said throughout 10 years just two people were banned. 

I already offered you to use different software.  

I only left this article to warn other spammers like you, otherwise I would simply deleted all your comments and articles. I am simply not used to waste my time, so if I left your article and take my time to reply in comments, there was just one reason to do so.

1. I am not a spammer
2. I am not your spammer from 10 years ago
3. I only have one betfair account
4. Buying a subscription without being able to finish the trial is out of the question, who would do that?
5. I appologized for the comment, but I don't think I was out of line

You're the one who can reinstate the account. If you want me to use the software, please do it. Otherwise, I'll try out something else. No point in using software where they treat clients as spammers.

You spammed to this article: Help developing a Bot/risk manager

If you would had been careful with the way how you phrased your spam, I would left your comment and not banned you.

Bfexplorer actually offers "Bot/risk manager" tool already, and it is called "My bet position"

The tool presents entire bet position on all markets, and of course on particular ones, allowing you to close your bet position on selected market or on all of them.

Bfexplorer offers BOT SDK so it is possible to extend any bfexplorer feature, or build new ones by creating custom bots or apps. Such custom bots can be built by any developer, not only by me, as Bfexplorer BOT SDK is publicly available for anyone.

What I can suggest you is to use another betfair account to trial bfexplorer, or just subscribe to bfexplorer. There is a lot of other products for betfair trading so you can use other apps as well.

As you maybe noticed there is no need to register here on the forum, as with bfexplorer installation all is done automatically with your first login. This way I managed to block spammers, because to post on forum you must use bfexplorer app.

You are the second spammer I blocked here from 2007, and I think both spammers were from the same country, just by judging from your name/s.

I don't mind about the comment, but could we have another go at the subscription? I was trying to help out, but I should have waited to get more familiar with the forum. Thanks.

You spammed forum, therefore I deleted your comment and banned your access.

Thanks for clearing this, Stefan!

So what you are saying is that you trade in-play races directly from a racecourse watching a race, and you want to use ladders to place bets. 

Well, quite strange because through all those years I am betfair software vendor I built 3 or 5 in-play trading bespoke apps and none of them used ladders, not even market grid with 3 best offered back and lay prices. 

All those apps used triggered bots to place bets, and in all cases actually keyboard was used to select  a horse by saddlecloth number.

You cannot see such data on any betfair market, because betfair switched your betfair api access to delayed data. 

Betfair does so to users who have no money on their betfair accounts, or had not placed any bet on betfair exchange in last 3 months.  

It is clear that placed bet/s must be matched and settled, then in your next login to your betfair account through betfair api app you can see real data on betfair markets.

 Thank you Stefan,

I had to uninstall and re-install the net framework, as it seems it was corrupted or so.

I do bespoke bot development only for my Professional subscribers. You have got my info@bfexplorer.net email, send me your specification and I will reply with my price for such project and time schedule.

I didnt hear from you - are u interested to work on this project?

Can you message me on skype? darshanvaidya9486

Yes, I do bespoke bot/apps development using betfair api.

This is only a link to the "project"... which... btw. you can develop by the Bfexplorer.
That all.
No additional interest on this...

You are a candidate for the Nobel Prize!

This is the most interesting development of a private trader ever.

Congratulations!

I am a big fan of you.

(Are you the guy who moved from Germany to London years ago and employing your own developer?)

A question:
You have earned a lot of money with Betfair for years, successful, quiet and unobtrusive.

Why do you publish your latest development?

Do you suddenly have commercial intentions?

Scalpy will be able to pull so much money from the inplay markets that the whole betfair system is affected...
