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 ...

Saving a ladder status is not yet implemented. I am still working on it and it is not so easy because grid control does not support loading and saving custom formatting in the use case I have got in my ladder implementation.
Be aware of the fact that bfexplorer by default creates some conditional formatting, so if you clear some of this rules you will lost settings for instance for to back/to lay data bar, as those two rules are set to share maximal offered volume to show realistic WOM.
You can see that on Miro’s image above that data bar has different maximal values for to back and lay columns, because Miro cleared bfexplorer ladder formatting, but it is really up to you what and how you want to use.

I use http://pasteboard.co/ service...
You can:
1) place a link to the image: https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/2CGbA4Ui.png
or
2) open link of uploaded image, select image by mouse, copy (CTRL+C) and paste to (CTRL+V) the comment... like this:
Bigger images will change size (max. width of text block)
I have tried paste images with link (with any HTML code) but without succes.
--------------------------
For creating images you can use any "Screenshot" and "Paintbrush" app

I already know how to clean the various designs of the columns of the ladder:
Click right mouse button at the head of the column of the ladder
Conditional Formatting
Clear Rules

Miro, do you know how I can add images to the forum?
Thanks in advance

Hola Miro:
You say:
"I made some layout, but I don't know how to save it for next time using"
I also tried some design, but I do not know how to restore the old layout.
Maybe I have to delete the last update and acquire the previous version.
How I can download older versions?
Mir.
I made some layout, but I don't know how to save it for next time using.
---------------------------
"continuous shadowing" - is the trouble. Maybe it will go through a special set expressions, but I don´t know which...
Edumadrid
Stefan, thank you very much for your infinite patience and understanding.
To me your Ladder interface is the best to see the trend.
With your support I already know how to extend the ladder.
Miro, thanks for your words. I see you as a very active and helpful person
Mir.
Looks fine! Thanks!
-------------------------------------
1) Can´t save changes. After restart default colors again.
2) I dont know how to fill ALL cells from BEST LAY PRICE to 1000 continuously. All cells = not without empty cells.

Eduardo, I always listen to user’s requests, and if such request is useable for others, or just I like the idea then I implement such feature in couple days. Did you forget that I implement Multiple Market Dutching tool, and that was your request.
Bfexplorer offer 3 feature levels, for free users, basic features (for bettors), and for professionals all features.
What you actually requests are professional features, I mean any feature which can be implemented by bot, and from what you named, those are 4 features of your 7 requests. In professional version you can add any bot to My Ladders Bots, so execute them from a ladder context menu.
I prefer to implement features which allows simply extend bfexplorer features, by tools, or custom bots, bot triggers. This approach allows me to build a lot of features, but avoids to actually adds something to base bfexplorer code base.
I will never implement reversed ladder, with such ladder your offered/unmatched bets are actually hidden, as should be shown on that side where you offers such bet. So how solved that these betfair apps with reversed ladder? They either added additional columns for unmatched bets, or shows unmatched bets in Odds column.
Bet in the queue feature, such feature is not support by betfair api, so those who implemented this feature just shows not relevant numbers.
I will add notification for bets placed at in-play if in-play delay is more than 1 second.
Betfair graphs, are just for information, and are not refreshed in the popup window.
I made a video showing how you can change application layout. I do not know what screen resolution you are using, but as a basic subscriber only, close all views you actually cannot use, Navigator view can be hidden, so you will get more space for ladders, and when navigator is needed you just hover mouse over Navigator caption and it will popups automatically.
I believe you trade only on horse racing maybe, in such case you actually do not need Navigator, just open horse racing win markets for UK and IE (you can add such setting to your favourite events), and now you open to Bet Event Traders first market on which you want to trade, do you trading and to open next market in the list, just click on Close context menu: Close Market and Open Next.
I implemented this feature for free users, as these users can open just one market, and free users are just those who starts trading again on horse racing mainly.

Hi Edumadrid,
I am not developer (read: I am not coder) but my opinion is: maybe only one or two things from your list will be realised (my tip: Betfair Charts, Stop Loss on the Ladder).
This is not cheap sofware for masses.
Unfortunately, this is a bit of a shame.
Some features are standard on the market of the betfair software but not in Bfexplorer.
Especially Reverse Ladder: feature only for human users, bots does not matter what will be the ladder, understand?
------------
On the other hand: bots will not pay monthly subscriptions or participates on affiliate... Only human.
Mir.
Are you serious?
I asked twice, how to use syntax... Answer is:
Just to use common sense.
I thought that forum is place for help. Especially for beginners (for me too). Maybe.
But without common sense - nothing for new customers.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For example this concrete syntax works fine.
But if you prepare data in Excel and export to CSV file, you must save in UTF-8 (open in Notepad -> save as [UTF-8] file)
---------------------------------------------------
3.75;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;3.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;4.00
3.70;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;3.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;4.00
3.65;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;3.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;4.00
3.60;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;3.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;4.00
3.55;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;3.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;4.00

3.45;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
3.40;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
3.35;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
3.30;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
3.25;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
3.20;Lay;PlaceBetCSBP;OpenBetPosition.Stake;4.37;CloseBetPosition.Profit;4.00;CloseBetPosition.Loss;5.00
---------------------------------------------------
PlaceBetCSBP = Place Bet Close Selection Bet Position bot
Betfair Bot
Not to confuse others, you must append OpenBetPosition to all parameters which influence Place Bet bot functionality (in this trading bot: Place bet and close selection bet position), and CloseBetPosition to parameters which influence Close selection bet position bot behavior.
Betfair Bot
Sometimes, all you really need is just to use common sense. In our countries we say you should use zdravý sedliacky rozum, zdravý selský rozum.
Any bot offers some parameters, and those parameters are grouped to quickly find them or organize them, so you can find named groups in bot parameters: Bet Attribute, Bet, Stake, Time, Selection and so on.
Place Bet and Close Selection Bot Position bot is made from two bots, as the name of this bot could suggest. It means that bot offers quite a lot of parameters.
You can actually see it in the bot editor that Bet Attribute group is actually made by two bot setting data: PlaceBetParametersData and ClosePositionParametersData, and so to access Place bet bot parameters in bot parameter setting you must append OpenBetPosition name.
I already mention such fact in my article: Case Study 1 - Back a list of horses and green up at a % offset
http://bfexplorer.net/Articles/Content/74
So in your CSV additional parameters, you must add:
CloseBetPosition.Profit
CloseBetPosition.Loss

Where is mistake?
PlaceBetCP = Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position bot
Betfair Bot
Bot Trigger caches csv file, so you must restart bfexplorer.
Mir.
Ohh, I see...
I must create CSV file correctly
---------------
I change CSV file (name-TriggerParameters) but bot still works with the old one.
Betfair Bot
I said: For now there are supported BetType, Boolean and Float values for additional bot parameters.
10 is the full number, the interger.
10.0 is the floating point number (float).
Mir.
Additional parameters
-------------------------------------------------
I asked If additional parameter is supported in syntax like this:
I have problem with parameter Stake too... (?)
Mir.
Nicely explained by you ;)
--------------------------------------
I use one-click execution Place Bet and Close Selection Bet Position bot with a few different settings.
These bots automatically select Execute Trigger Bot from predefined CSV file.
So easy...
