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 ...

“Anytime this number changes it is either a newer player break, or re-break, right?” Yes.
Everytime first page conditions are applied, a break occurs, but only if this break happens as both players are on serve (there’s no advantage/disadvantage in breaks).
Let’s say the score goes: 1-0 (P1 hold), 1-1 (P2 hold), 2-1 (P1 hold), 3-1 (P1 break) - this break is registered by 1st page conditions - 4-1 (P1 hold), 4-2 (P2 hold), 4-3 (P2 break) - this break is registered by 2nd page conditions and now conditions are reset - 5-3 (P1 break) - again this break is registered by 1st page conditions - 5-4 (P2 break) - again this break is registered by 2nd page conditions - and so on…
Another situation: 1-0 (P1 hold), 2-0 (P1 break) - 1st page conditions - 3-0 (P1 hold), 4-0 (P1 break) - this break is registered by 2nd page conditions - from now on if P1 breaks again will not be registered by my conditions, but if P2 breaks before P1 gets another break then page 2 conditions are waiting for another break that will be registered.
Page 2 conditions are applied when there is a re-break or the player gets the second break advantage. If there’s a difference bigger than one break beetween players, it won’t be triggered.
Maybe if you put parameters like PointsScore, PlayerServing and criteria to set up difference beetween GamesScore (based on players) or Player1SetScore / Player2SetScore / Player1GameScore / Player2GameScore / Player1Serving etc. and conditional criteria.
I’m thinking this to be used by other traders.

That means that you are applying a staking plan to your betting, it means that you must use the “Execute Till Target Profit” bot to execute your tennis bot.
On the other hand this staking strategy plan requires execution of matches step by step only. A new bet is placed (bot executed) only after previous bet result is known.
If you bet or trade at the same time on many markets, then you can monitor your bet position on these markets by My Bet Position tool/view, and you can close bet position on all markets when necessary.

This seems to be a very good idea, so I will develop a bot in following days. Save the spreadsheet without text player’s names and scores, so it can be used as template and post it to me by email.

I have a list, eg. 50 tennis matches - Bet LAY (not trading) - eg. I won 2 matches (2 x 5 Euro) - I won 10 Euro - at this point the program has to stop and not to buy more.
skarabeusz
I need to close the entire market Tennis (stop program if "X" profit).
Mir.
ok.
If you need to place one open bet and one close bet you can use Place Bet and Close Bet Position bot.
There are all you need in one trading cycle

My BOT order of the elements is as follows:
Stu42
Stefan,
So how do I monitor the following?
I can only see the stake and odds on "Output"
What is the best way? Do I UNTICK "StopMarketMonitoring"?
Also, I can see some wins but no 'rollover' stakes when betting
skarabeusz
How to connect "Close Bet Market Position" with "Tennis Bot" and "Place Bet"?
Mir.
There are many ways how to "STOP at PROFIT"...
-------------------------
If you want you can Close Selection Bet Position only...
skarabeusz
Is it possible to set the parameters in the "Place bet" under "Entry Criteria"?
Mir.
Try Close Market Bet Position bot...
Mir.
Stu42, there is screenshot from Bot Executor Horse Racing.
At first glance there are some inconsistent results. There are some problems...
I am not programmer I only use some features of Bfe.
I really dont know if my entry to the market is good or not. If is wrong (SelectionBalance is low) the next layer of bets can be placed on Selection.
I used Place Bet or sometimes Place Bet and Close Selection Bet position bots.
When I have some relevant data captured from trading, let me show you what I mean...
Principles are the same: take advantage of motions of the Odds.
Betfair Bot
It would be better if you prepare general formula to calculate number of breaks, or better to say difference in breaks. Anytime this number changes it is either a newer player break, or re-break, right?
Mir.
Now I try to set StopMarketMonitoring parameter (reopen to “Open Markets” service)...
------------------
There is very strange screenshot:
One market, the same strategy, Close Market Bet Position: Profit = 3 euro, Loss = 4 euro...
Bot Executor vs. Bet Event Trader...
This is one of the reasons why I want some tool preview to see what happened.
For example save data for analysis!
Not from ideal data, I need to have data from real behavior of bots.
(odds movement, update period, matched price, etc. - all on what bots react)
This screen is really strange, but happened

Lacoste
Stefan, consider this!
I think these conditions identify what I need, but not all break situations. It seems head-spinning to create all situations only based on game score.
It shows first break scored in a set and the second break - taking into account who broke first.

I will change the parameter MaximumOddsDifference description to:
“The maximum odds difference (between best offer lay odds and best offered back odds, in ticks) to place your bet.”
There are more services for market data monitoring: “Open Markets” service, “Bot Executor” service, and “Bot Executor for Selections” service.
For security reasons it is not possible to monitor the same market in different services, only in one of them. Therefore double-clicking on a market in the “Bot Executor” view, will remove the market from the monitoring queue of the “Bot Executor” service, and the market is reopened in the “Open Markets” service.
If there is set Monitored flag set, then “Bot Executor” started the market monitoring, and similar if flags “Matched Bets” or “Unmatched Bets” is set, you can be sure that bot placed bets. “Profit Balance” is recalculated if there are matched bets on the market, in some cases bot can place a bet, and as the following refresh by default occurs in 1 second, the market can be suspended, so profit is not recalculated. In the Profit column you will see a number after a market is closed, and your strategy uses some kind of staking plan bot.
I have got scripts, you can run to recalculate Profit for closed markets from “Open Markets” service.
“Bot Executor” executor monitors markets only when bot/s is/are running on the market. Immediately after bot ends its execution and StopMarketMonitoring parameter is set, the market is reopen to “Open Markets” service.
Frankly to say all that could be learnt just watching how “Bot Executor” works. I already mentioned the importance of bot testing in the practice mode, and with manual execution. This way you can test any bot parameter behavior.
Stu42
I have to agree with MIR... the event disappears when you click on it.
Also, some have got 'matched' ticked but zero profit/loss. So what happened to it? I have no idea whether it made the bet, and profited or lost. Some ARE coming up with the losses showing -$0.50
As for the MaximumOddsDifference - yes I know there are descriptions, but it does not describe how these odds difference are measured, as I said. Is it 1.0 spread or 0.1? For example, if I typed 10, will that be 10.0x1.0=10 odds or 10x0.1=1.0 or 10x0.2=2.0 i.e depending on the actual event odds. I mean, are they 'pips/ticks' or actual odds values? (hopefully I make sense!)
MIR - I would love to know what you are doing for entry & exit on greyhounds and trailing, I'd like to test a few myself for trailing on greyhounds and horses. If it's private, I understand...
Mir.
Bot Executor - my focus is only for full automated trading and Bot Extecutor is really powerfull tool!
(my today's screen from testing greyhound strategy, with custom conditional formatting of the Profit Balance column)
In full automation is a Bot Executor great, but as Stu said, there is big problem with any controlling running strategies, bots behave etc. in TESTING MODE. For example: If I open the market from Bot Executor in a Bet Event Trader (to see how a strategy works) market disappeared from its list...
I want to run all "trading strategies" from Bot Executor.
The same "trading strategy" generates different results (I failed to do it the same; compared: Bot Executor vs. Bet Event Trader vs. the second Bfe vs. the third Bfe at the same time...)
Yes I understand it!! (update period etc.)
and that's why I'd like to see if there were some "viewer" from markets in Bot Executor.
Betfair Bot
You can use Entry Criteria for both bots in your bot solution, if that makes sense. I think what you need is to set Entry Criteria only for your staking plan bot. If you do so then set correctly ExecuteOnSelection parameter, because that parameter will define which selection values you can and to Entry Criteria.
When you select any bot parameter, a description is displayed as well, for the parameter: MaximumOddsDifference, you can read the following description: The minimum odds difference to place your bet.
How can be calculated odds difference?
