Delayed API Status
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 ...

Free Trial Review
I tried BFexplorer, having used 3-4 different software applications beforehand.
The 2 days utilising the software, I managed to get a feel for the product and like the modern display on the black background.
Bets placed were very responsive with no lagging experienced from other products.
A few ...

LastPriceTraded and you must run Cancel Strategies on Selection on all selections.
The other alternative is write your own custom trigger bot script.
Stefan
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.
Stefan
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
TheWood
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
Stefan
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
gavoly
ok, so which trgger parameters require setting:
currently i have set
name value
Stefan
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.
Stefan
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.
gavoly
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
Stefan
May I ask for link to the bot script are you trying to use?
Stefan
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?
Tony
What I need is to cancel AtInplayKeepBets wnhen football LiveScore data feed is not available.
If there is no StartCriteria (i.e. MatchTime = 'N/A', Score = '-', etc.) to start a FootballBot only when football LiveScore data feed is not available, the only solution I see is to start a FootballBot when LiveScore data feed is available, for its placed bet to be matched and set another bot (i.e. CancelBotsOnSelection) to cancel my other AtInPlayKeepBets, using HaveMatchedBets = 'False' as EntryCriteria.
Please let me know if you have any other better solution to cancel AtInPlayKeepBets only when football LiveScore data feed is not available.
Thank you
Tony
But when LiveScore data feed is not available for a particular match, FootballBot doesn't accept any of these as a StartCriteria:
HasLiveScoreFeedData == falseMatchTime == ""orMatchTime == "N/A"orMatchTime == "-"(depending on how the unavailable MatchTime is represented)Tony
From Chat GPT:
"To start a bot only when LiveScore data and MatchTime are not available for a football match in the BF Explorer, you can use a combination of conditions and triggers. Here's an example of how you can set it up:
Open the BF Explorer and navigate to the bot you want to configure or create a new bot.
In the Start Criteria section, set the conditions to check for the availability of LiveScore data and MatchTime. For example, you can set the conditions as follows:
HasLiveScoreFeedData == falseMatchTime == ""orMatchTime == "N/A"orMatchTime == "-"(depending on how the unavailable MatchTime is represented)In the Execute Trigger section, add a new trigger.
Set the trigger type to "Start" or "Activate" to start the bot.
Save the bot and run it.
By setting these conditions, the bot will only start when both LiveScore data and MatchTime are not available for the specified football match. This way, the bot will not be activated if the required data is missing.
It's important to note that the availability and representation of LiveScore data and MatchTime can vary depending on the data source and how it's integrated with the BF Explorer. Make sure to check the specific data source and adjust the conditions accordingly to accurately detect the unavailability of LiveScore data and MatchTime.
Additionally, if the BF Explorer doesn't provide built-in support for checking the availability of LiveScore data and MatchTime, you may need to explore external APIs or custom integrations to retrieve this information and incorporate it into your bot's logic."
