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 ...

“Repeat Until” bot is not bad.
-----------------------
Divided bets on volatility markets can be more better than one bet. Often price jumps 5-6 ticks up/down and 2nd-3rd bet at exact Odds from this bot can be matched at better price...
If not, nevermind. I see only opportunity.
Mainly I see the big advantage in In-play markets too (tennis, horse racing ... especially)

Miro, there is no complicated chaining of bots. All you need is to set Place Bet bot, and then use “Repeat Until” bot to instruct the bot how you want to repeat Place Bet bot action.
Of course we all know what "drip feeding bot" main feature is, but I cannot see any advantage of your bot, there is no advantage in placing different stakes, so what bfexplorer already offers is efficient method to place big stake on a market.
“Repeat Until” bot offers 3 parameters you can use to set iteration type and timeout.
Mir.
Advantage:
1) the only one bot; not complicated chaining
2) possibility to set many different stakes; placed in the virtual queue
3) speculative bets; if a first small bets matched I can take better price with next bets
I do not have to affect WOM but my stakes are on the market
etc.
maybe for me: possibility to set all stakes in CSV file (with update a bot strategy)
Mir.
Thank you very much.

My expression in English is not good. If you have any questions, please email me.

I hope I will find some spare time in following days, will let you know when it is ready.

What is an advantage for this kind of bot? Drip feeding bot can be constructed by using “Place Bet” bot and “Repeat Until” bot.

"Execute Till Target Profit" bot or "Execute Trigger Bot" are not stopped / canceled by "Close Market Bet Position" bot.
In your case the only option is to use "Execute Trigger Bot" custom trigger.
Mir.
Can you help me with "Close Market Bet Position bot"?
Situation:
I have some trading bots on some Selections and if Close Market Bet Position bot close at profit or loss I want to rerun whole strategy once again.
How can I do it automatically? Close Market Bet Position bot stoped all bots...

Your problem is the connection latency to betfair servers. Yes, you can improve connection latency by using VPS which is located closer to betfair servers than your home connection to betfair servers.
On the other hand if you use VPS for manual trading you will get actually worse results, just think about it. You will get better results only when using automated betting solution with triggers/bots or automated trading solutions.
Mir.
Ok.
You are right.
With this settings...
Bot recalculate a bet by actual Odds.
Betfair Bot
Did you actually test your bot running and watched the bot behavior? I do not think so because Bet Status Description is just text not updated when bet condition changes. It shows initial bot status when bot status changes.
Execute the bot, and then report what you find out. I noticed it in many cases you just mislead others with wrong conclusions, please test bot behavior first before posting any comment or article to this forum.
Mir.
I understand.
As described on picture. No bets on Selection. But Back bet waiting for place €10 @ 5.60 if MaximumOddsDifference < 2.
And finally best back odds is 4.60 and best lay odds is 4.80, conditions are met and ... bot place a bet with calculated price @ 5.60
Betfair Bot
Miro, MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference parameters are used before a bet is placed. If you set these parameters and values are not met then your bet is not placed.
If you do not want to use the chase odds feature which is actually one of base features when you use calculated odds bet placing, so when PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange is set, then set ChaseOddsTimeout parameter to 1 day for instance: 1.00:00:00. This setting will effectively stop bet updating, as your bet is active on greyhounds market just for couple minutes.
Mir.
Using ChaseOddsTimeout is not good!
Dynamic stakes (like Liability) calculated at strarting (wrong) Odds. If chasing odds stake is unchanged
Mir.
Thank you again for this bot, Stefan!
Prepared stakes is not problem.
Mir.
MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference parameters are used after the bet placed.
I don´t want update any bets, I want place for example 3 Back bets with different Price Improvements for the first time at right Odds. Without any chasing the Odds.
This is the key of my problem.
Yes, maybe I can use ChaseOddsTimeout but only once.
Betfair Bot
Miro, your custom bot script had been developed without supporting StakeType parameter. Actually when your bot script was developed such bot parameter (StakeType) was not offered by bfexplorer bots.
After I finished your custom bot I sent you the source code as well, so just have a look on function: ToObjectValue, if you want to add support for StakeType then add it to this function.
Betfair Bot
Miro, there is actually no problem with this bot, when bot is executed with PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange, and you set required parameters for MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference, then initial bet is placed only when those parameter values are met, so the bot will do exactly what you want to.
Once a bet is placed, and if it is not fully matched, then bot updates bet odds to fulfill your requirements for bet placing at required calculated odds, but in this process the MinimumOddsDifference and MaximumOddsDifference parameters are not used, these parameters are used only for initial bet placing.
If you require other bot behavior in this stage (when bot updates odds), then of course a custom bot must be programmed, but you did not mentioned such behavior.
Mir.
Problem solved.
I do not have to use parameter "StakeType" in my CSV file.
-------------------------------------------------------
All Stakes I can define exactly as Stake; prepared before
Example:
Tick Profit €1@3.65 is Stake €73@3.65
Mir.
Problem solved.
I do not use this bot for trading on greyhounds.
