Hi Stefan,

I have installed the latest release and wondered where I can find the "save in-play market prices" bot shown in this video?

Thanks

 Thanks! Could you point me in some direction to set up the code in the software? I played with it (the software) some time ago, but definately I will need a refresh. I am not a code expert what so ever, but I unterstand a little and also I see great potencial in the code you have created. Is there anything in particular you think I will find useful to read or watch?

This bot code shows how to retrieve betfair SP prices. When market is turned at in play, so in code, the line 72, you can add what you want to.

Hi Stefan, Thanks for your time.

However I could not find anything related to if "Betfair Starting prices" are "x" then... the close one was LTP, but is not the same.

Have a look at here:

https://github.com/StefanBelo/BetfairBotSDK/tree/master/MyBotTriggers

A key challenge for traders is finding relevant form & historical data on their chosen sport/racing that will allow them to develop a strategy to give them the edge.  Data visualisation can help a user to quickly gain insights to identify such data. The SandDance tool looks useful for this purpose.

i thought it was a good trigger to test if it works..which big project you will start ?

And what would you do with that?  

Frankly to say I am not quite sure you understand what you can see on those videos. Those videos were actually made to report my progress on quite big project I am working on now for couple weeks. 

Yes, I developed similar app/bot for MySQL as well.

Hi Stefan,

is not possible make the same on MYSQL Database?

Bye Vincent

Unfortunately I did not have a time to add this bot to Community ones.  

I will do so in the update after betfair will cease Australian exchange service endpoint, so some changes will be required to bfexplorer as well.

What you executed by using Bfexplorer Console is just script, showing recorded data in XPlot charts. You need to execute the bot called: "Record Market Selection Data" to record those data first.

 Hi, I have the same question as Mir on this very useful looking bot . Where do we find the save market data bot dislayed? It looks like there is a Database "connection string" selection available within the bot. I have browsed through the SDK but have not found one with this property. Thanks for helping to find this or maybe describing how to create it.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for this information. Instructions worked well.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the advice below. I have solved the xplotly dll requirement by following your instructions and now have another question.

When I execute this bot the output report returns the error message "No time series available!"

Perhaps you have a tip on where I might be missing something?

Thanks

For more information read this article:

Visual Studio offers the NuGet package manager: 

https://www.nuget.org/ 

You can use it to quickly install all needed packages (assemblies/libraries) to your project, just type XPlot.Plotly 

On GitHub you can find source code for this project: 

https://github.com/TahaHachana/XPlot 

So alternatively you can clone or download XPlot, and build XPlot.Plotly.dll assembly yourself. 

Do not forgot that you have to replace path to bfexplorer assemblies this script is using as well. 

Well, I am not quite sure if you manage to do it yourself, as you ask for help in very base and common tasks any programmer/software developer must already know. I would really suggest to learn that first.

Yes, Microsoft Edge is my default Internet Browser, therefor the script opens Edge to show https://plot.ly/ charts. 

 Hi Stefan,

This looks like a nice addition, but I am having difficulty with the activation.  I have followed the video and receive the conosle error message in my output "FsiEvaluationException: Error:input.fsx(1,1):error FS0084 Assembly reference  '#r "D:\Projects\Bfexplorer\Development\Libraries\XPlot\bin\XPlot.Plotly.dll" was not dound or is invalid"

I imagine I need the dll file somewhere in my own C drive for reference but can not find it to add.

I noticed the graph opening in Microsoft Edge too, is this a possible default app setting somewhere?

I would welcome your advice and help with this and also please can you let me know where the stored data is actually stored for future access. (I have the store race data bot running but not sure how / where it is storing data)

Thanks very much.

Actually all you need is just to read the code. To any console application you can enter command line arguments, and in the code of the console application those arguments are passed as array of strings.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (args.Length != 2)
    {
        throw new Exception("Please enter your betfair user name and password!");
    }

    var username = args[0];
    var password = args[1];

    var task = ExecuteMyTest(username, password);

    Task.WaitAll(task);
}

In the code you can see that the first argument (args[0]) represents your username and the second  argument (args[1]) your password. 

Go to the Solution Explorer and on the BetfairApiConsole project click with your right mouse button, select Properties menu item, and click on it. 

In the project properties window select Dubug, and in the Start Options sections, in the Command line arguments, enter your username and password. (the argument separator character is space). 

Execute your bot sdk project, and your betfair credentials will be used to login to betfair thriugh betfair api. You can debug your test bot project or create your own ones. 

In bfexplorer bot sdk you can find projects in C# or F# programming languages. 

Hi,

where is yours the "Save In-Play Market Prices" bot?

Need any upgrade?
