Yes, it was down only last night. It's working fine again. Thanks

Finally ! There was no football live scores data feed during all night. thank you.

I have checked football live score and football bot, and on all currently live matches there is score feed available.

All my bots also stopped working because of football live scores data feed. What is happening ???

Thanks, works perfect!

Trigger bot script is executed by bot named: "Execute Trigger Bot" and there is quite a lot of post about this bot on the bfexplorer forum.

You cannot debug bot trigger script when the script is in .fsx file, because such script is built by bfexplorer so you have no access to the assembly.

The bot trigger script can build in project assembly, just rename the bot script to .fs and add it to your bot assembly project. You must remove #r and #I directives, and because of IBotTrigger initialization by bfexplorer such bot script must be the only IBotTrigger object in your assembly.

Again there are some posts on the bfexplorer forum showing how I debug bot trigger scripts without adding it to separate assembly, just search for IBotTrigger. Well yes, it was not true debugging in Visual studio, but I was able to use Visual Code as IDE for writing bot trigger code, and with all support of Intellisense and error checking when writing the bot trigger code in Visual Code.

1) You must run Visual Studio as Administrator

2) Debug your project starting external program:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BeloSoft\Bfexplorer\Bfexplorer.exe

3) And of course the project must be built to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BeloSoft\Bfexplorer\

So you must set Build/Output path

I want debug project like in your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZukmOSEWtKg&t=1s

1) I set that it run external BFExplorer program

2) I run debugger but breakpoints are not found, i can not debug and load my bots, what i am doing wrong?

is there any guide how to run trgger bot script in BFExplorer? I did not find any manual or video hot to do it

I have just updated the Bfexplorer BOT SDK to the latest version of Bfexplorer 2.0.7106

https://github.com/StefanBelo/Bfexplorer-BOT-SDK

I have tried to download Bot SDK directly from github , so there is a little less errors, but anyway something wrong.

List of errors: https://paste.ofcode.org/QLXJVRSRsubDRzHgWh4eTz

Your VolumeDifferenceBotTrigger trigger bot script.

It is possible to write simple bot trigger script, as an example look at here:

Lay the favourite <50% market

It shows how to use traded volume. I will make your trigger later today.

To Bot Strategy:

You can use Place Bet bot as the main bot placing your bet, first setting it to place bet at exact odds, then setting it to take what is offered, or end the bot execution. If bot execution is ended/cancelled then all unmatched bets placed by the bot are cancelled.

It means that you have to program just bot trigger changing the bot settings at required time.

To Bfexplorer BOT SDK:

The error message is clear. You must build your projects to .net 4.7.2 because bfexplorer app is built to this .net framework. 

The summary:

Well, if you were not able to fix your problem when building Bfexplorer BOT SDK projects yourself, I do not think you will be able to program your bot trigger strategy.

Therefore use just Place Bet bot to place your bet at allowed odds range, so no needs to program anything just setting up the bot and run it.  

I have developed my web site as well, so here you can search the web site, typing your search term in the “Search in site”.

If exact term is not found, web site offers context search trough bing or google.

Bfexplorer BOT SDK (Visual Studio solution) contains 14 projects. To start all you need is to open this Bfexplorer BOT SDK.sln solution in Visual Studio.

If you set the Bfexplorer BOT SDK main project to be: JayBeeBot, then you can start debugging the WinForm app that uses BfexplorerService in very simple UI app. So running this app the simple UI appears and in menu you can login, clicking on Application / Login.

By the way bfexplorer app uses the same BfexplorerService to implement all features you can run in bfexplorer app. What does it mean? You do not have to program what I already programmed in bfexplorer app, because BfexplorerService offers base features you need.

The rest of projects use different approaches, showing how to use Bfexplorer BOT SDK to program bfexplorer bots, tools, plugins, bot trigger script codes, or console scripts.

When debugging such projects you enter your betfair credentials through Debug / Command line arguments in Visual Studio.

I have written about it in many forum post or articles.

I do not know what you want to implement, but I offer my services to develop betfair bots which are integrated in bfexplorer or bespoke apps.

Other than short 2 minute videos, do you have a detailed instruction anywhere that outlines how to setup and use the SDK? 

From the basis steps which include how to actually store the username and password. I think alot of it starts from a position that infers knowledge that I dont have. 

Just google the term: IntelliSense

IntelliSense is a general term for a variety of code editing features including: code completion, parameter info, quick info, and member lists. IntelliSense features are sometimes called by other names such as "code completion", "content assist", and "code hinting."

All my projects in Bfexplorer BOT SDK are either C# or F# projects, and are run-able by bfexplorer app or as standalone apps.

C# and F# in Visual Studio, and for all the rest of programming languages, support IntelliSense so you actually do not need documentation.

Yes, for now you do not understand what advantage of using Bfexplorer BOT SDK you can get when programming tradinging strategies. I read the same forum as you do for python wrapper library of betfair api, so it will be interesting for me to follow your progress there.

Hi there,

Thanks for the response. Honestly, I love BFExplorer, but I'm finding the whole F#/C# completely different to what I'm comfortable with. I've followed some of the videos, downloaded the sdk but I cant say I'm finding it terribly easy to navigate.

My desire was to leverage this existing code to make my adoption of the application more straight forward. If this code snippet isnt publically available I think I'll need to reconsider my options. I've seen discussions about ironpython, but again the code examples of this are not complete enough, nor is the documentation for me to understand how to get it going.

Perhaps an alternative pathway is for me?

Please read about Bfexplorer Bot SDK and Bfexplorer Console. Actually there is quite a lot of options you can use to do the same I had done on the video. 

Bfexplorer Console offers scripting language, in this case F#, to access any market data bfexplorer app opens.

To develop tools or bots you can use any .net programming language and integrate your code, better to say assembly with bfexplorer app interface.

Your subscription code was correctly activated by betfair, and your subscription is valid till 8th Mrach 2021. 

You can check your subscription status using My Subscription Details.

Sir, do you understand that activation is done on betfair server not on mine one? In some cases it takes some time on betfair side, so your error message you recevied from betfair when activating subscription code describe the problem which occured on betfair side.
