How to enable MCP /sse + WithParameters on Bfexplorer 5.08.0404?
Hi Stefan,
I'm automating bet placement from my own app and I need to place a Back bet with a dynamic MinimumOdds (a per-bet floor price computed externally), so the exchange never matches below my floor.
The changelog mentions ExecuteBfexplorerStrategySettingsWithParameters (MCP tool, ...

The objective is that when the bot closes (with profit or not),
he would start again in the market panel bot.
if (bot1.close ==true)
run bot 1 ;
if (bot2.close ==true)
run bot 2;
I'm sorry but I don't the bfexplorer api.

Hi friends:
Stefan, I am glad that your Slovak user has the same problem as me. Because your judgments about my ability were too negative.
I know what a script, I can make changes on the console, I know well the meaning of bot trigger ... But when something goes wrong you doubt my ability, which I deeply regret.
I do not blame you. Spend a lot of effort to help and you're frustrated that we do not level.
Stefan really thank you very much for your support and patience.
Mir. Thank you very much for your test. You are very necessary in the forum, so you leave a little freer to Stefan.
I believed understand, you do not go much football betting or just the Lay Draw?
Mir.
You need a condition:
if the Bot* made Profit then Run Again
else Stop the Bot
??
------------------------------------
*) Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position
ruipedrosilvasousa
my idea is that with the bot:
bot 1: Place Bet and close selecition bet position lay odds 1.80 1.90 close
if bot1 close == true {
Place Bet and close selecition bet position lay odds 1.80 1.90 close}
// Run bot 1 again
I know sorry does not work the base language of the bot
ruipedrosilvasousa
Thanks for the quick response
two parameters: StartOdds, and RestartOdds, how do you set these parameters?
Mir.
Hi guys,
This is not my cup of coffe but I am fine...
------------------------
PS: I run this bots in In-play mode. I must change parameter "AllowPlacingBetInPlay" to True.

PS2:
Porto scored before I send a post...
Mir.
Yes, I see.
"Chain execution" bot is better to use for chaining others bot, with many different type of setting but for this case is it easy solution.
If he must manage his bets (for example with some staking plan) some developers must create custom script for him.
Betfair Bot
Well, hardly to say because his specification is very vague.
I took my explanation because such kind of bot execution reentry can be implemented only by Bot Trigger, so it would be nice example for bot developers.
Mir.
I think that ruipedrosilvasousa wants run 1 bot twice.
Same open criteria, same close criteria...
---------------
Easy solution for this case:
1) create "Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position" bot - with parametres what you want - names for example: MyBotUO25
2) create "Chain execution" bot and to the parameter "Bot Names" write: MyBotUO25;MyBotUO25
3) Run "Chain execution" bot
After the first bot ended second bot will start...

Please, I would like to ask you a favor. If you write your article text or comment in Word, or Microsoft Office Word, just to check misspellings, then do not copy text directly, but paste it first to Notepad, and then copy text from Notepad to avoid importing style formatting from Word. I will fix this web editor problem when having more spare time.

Back to your trading bot, it would be fine if you use official names for bfexplorer bots, then I will be more certain what you actually want to implement.
I assume you use, Place bet and close bet position bot, in your trading, right?
You set the bot to open bet position by backing and when required profit is reached the bot close the bet position by hedging. You run your bot, at 1.8 price/odds on a selection, and what you want is to check if the same selection is traded at set price, for instance 1.9, and if that is true, you want again start your trading bot execution, on the same selection.
If my summary for your bot trigger is right, then what bot trigger will take two parameters: StartOdds, and RestartOdds.
Execute Trigger Bot will take BotName as the action bot that will be executed (your trading bot).

Eduardo, I asked one Slovak user to test this bot and he reports similar problems. It is busy trading weekend but whoever sends me Teamviewer access to his computer will help to solve this issue. On my computer all works fine so I need more information.
Betfair Bot
Edurardo, it does not make sense to run bots separately because the main point of this bot strategy is that bot trigger checks the profit on 0 – 0 and depending on this value calculates the amount it lays on draw.
If you say you will run bots separately then you actually did not understand about what is the bot using, it is about automating operations you would otherwise do manually.
I checked the bot on my release version of bfexplorer and all works on my side. Actually you already sent me before emails showing different screenshots where bot had been executed without any error message, it means that compilation service works fine, and this can be confirmed by fact that you already executed successfully Bfexplorer Console scripts. Bfexplorer Console tool uses the same script processing as the Execute Bot Trigger bot.
Your previous faults of using this bot trigger (BackCorrectScore00LayDrawTrigger.fs) were because you did not create action bots: Back Correct Score 0 – 0, and Lay Draw. Your bot trigger had been successfully executed, what I could see on your email screenshots, but did not do anything, because had no actions bots to execute.
Now, I would say you tried to change something in the bot trigger source code, and you simply introduced some error to the code, this could be investigated as well, because when bot trigger is compiled and some error occurs the error message is displayed in Output view.
I would say you have got very specific talent of yours…
Edumadrid
Stefan, the trigger still fails. Do not worry, be a fault with my computer.
Delete the trigger and use bots separately.
End of story.

I really appreciate your interest because all users learn to use your software. You're a good guy.
For my part I say I use your app well, thanks to all your videos and articles.

In the picture you can see a bet Lay X + CS 0-0, I found, with your search of odds.
In addition, a few days ago I bought a higher-resolution monitor, 1920.
Now we just need strategies work and we all win money.
Thanks friend for you help

In Spain we say that common sense is the least common of the senses
Betfair Bot
Common sense
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sense
Common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things, which is shared by ("common to") nearly all people, and can be reasonably expected of nearly all people without any need for debate.
Edumadrid
Thank Mir. I missed you in the forum.
I know open a script. But I think that the scrip is damaged.
Mir.
1) Unpack BackCorrectScore00LayDrawTrigger.zip with default context menu in Windows (right mouse button)
2) Copy unpacked .fs file to your bot trigger directory
3) Re-link .fs file in your Execute Trigger Bot. Use three dot shortcut (...)
Edumadrid
I used all my senses, including common sense and sense of humor, but the scrip is not working. It is not a problem of the path, because I can find the path. I think the script is damaged.
I followed step by step the indications of the video.

And if you are not able to set the file path name of bot trigger file by typing, then watch video in this article to learn how to browse bot trigger file by clicking on file open dialog button:
