Hi Mir:

I see that your strategy is lay in the support, and back in the resistance with a stop loss to save the "market noise"

Hi, it is not about big programming...
I just click on the Ladder.
All other do bots. Really! Especially early taking stop-losses.

My one click and decision is on bot.

Mir congratulations for your "fortune".

Something influence having a particular programmer at your service, as Stefan.

Some are not so lucky.

I have requested several small improvements for years, but do not appear.

Fortune?

------------------------

Only few clicks on Ladder and the show is going on!

It is quite clear that when you do not use Use Ladder parameter, then default action bot is not overridden by what you clicked on the ladder. On the other hand your bot trigger base feature is react on what was clicked on the ladder, so entry parameters are delegated to your bot script.

Actually when you open the bot script file you can see how it is done and so you can use such type of ladder click processing in similar bot triggers.

You bot trigger base logic consists from 9 lines of code.
Actually I already showed how to use additional parameters:

5.0;Back;Place bet;Stake;55.55
2.0;Back;Trade 2 ticks

The first line have one additional parameter Stake, the second line has no additional parameters. You add additional parameters in pairs, first the name, and then value:

Stake;55.55

Can you show me how to set up additional bot parameters?
Some examples.
Thanks

For this type of Execute Trigger Bot you must set Use Ladder Parameter checkbox to True!

If you not set all the options in the .CSV file (all rows) you can just bet on the Back side even if you click on the Lay side on the Ladder. Execute Trigger Bot run predefided action bot - for example any Place bet bot with default parameters.

Be careful!

Really, awesome! Thanks.

Unique benefits of betfair software worldwide!

New level of semi automatic trading.

Yes, I know about it, therefor I named this feature Stop/Cancel All, it is available only when there are some unmatched bets on the market selections. It is about implementation details, I do not have seperate container for market selection bots, therefor it is hard to implement it, for now I leave as it is, later maybe I will do something.

Bots still running but I can't Stop them...

Betfair chart is not refreshed, and actually there is no reason to do so as it always displayed the latest chart image when popup window appears.

Profit column does not offer Stop and cancel all feature, you must click on the ladder button to explicitly activate this action. Click into a row in the Profit column places a hedge bet only.

I hope I have fixed problem with currency symbol, 1.6.5692 is released.

In the new version...

Localization:

Profit column:

In the new version of BFE:

- unmatched bet canceled but bots still works

- hedge profit is not calculate accurate

Settings:

New data from datafile overwrites default setting.

It is better for loading parameters ... only parameter, which I want to change.

If in a row is "OfferMyBet" the bot set "OfferMyBet = True".

For example "AtInPlayKeepBet" is not in the row -> it is means default settings -> AtInPlayKeepBet = False

Profit column:
Add parameter: Stop all bots and Cancel all placed bets.

Usually I stopped all bot and canceled all bets when I Hedged Profit on Selection.

How often are refreshed BF charts?

Ok.

Because is possible execute bots directly from the ladder (and this feature is the most strong for manually trading) we can raise this to the next level.

Look at images:

There is very clear example. The name of bot is only illustrative, because this bot can execute many others type of bots.

1) Click on: Use Ladder - I want to execute bot from a ladder

2) Click on: Place Bet bot - use ladder - I select my bot which I want to execute

3) Click on: the ladder - I clicked on: Odds 3,35 and To Back side ... WHAT HAPPENS?

See next image!!

I prepared file which can tell me what happens.

3) Click on: the ladder - I clicked on: Odds 3,35 and To Back side ... WHAT HAPPENS?

If I clicked on: Odds 3,35 and To Back side - run the bot with Bot name "Place Bet" and with parameters in same row. Understand?

See the first image: Bet €134 placed at 3,35 and waiting for matching...

--------------------------------------------------

EASY!
Usability is neverending.

Yes, in 1 file you must set 700 rows (350× 1,01-1000 for Back and 350× 1,01-1000 for Lay side) but you can change parameter on every row!!

You need trade with 1 or 2 or 3 ticks to Profit? No problem, at 2,10 you set 3 ticks and at 8,0 1 tick... Easy and reflect your trading experience.

I think this will be strong feature for full automated trading too. I am looking forward...

Hi,

there is screenshot of my workplace.

No miracles: only Stakes, Charts, high Ladder.

All what I want is only for my comfort.

Compressed ladder especially. I don't need trade every tick. I am trading bigger and huge gaps. With no many rows the ladder will be more clear.

You really need to see 1,26-1,27-1,28-1,29 rows/odds on in-play market?

Attention: this is only for horse racing markets! Compressed ladder maybe will usable on football or tennis matches. But with another settings.

I do want to start a series of articles about Bot Trigger programming or about using them, and I actually did and do a lot in bfexplorer infrastructure to extend Bot Trigger features.

For instance I added two new triggers OpenAssociatedMarket and WatchMarketSelections that allows you orchestrate your trading markets or just to add market selections to Watched Selections view, so help you done what you have to do manually in couple step, done by Bot Trigger in one click.

You posted a couple ideas for Bot Trigger, so selected the one you want to implement first.

Well, yes in your trading style you prefer to execute your bot at exact odds, so it makes sense to visualize bot status on a selection ladder, but on the other hand there are bots which are not directly associated with a trigger action at the exact odds, but to odds range, or bots running on a market not on a selection.

As you are free to start as many bots as you want to, you can start two or more bots to be triggered at one odds level, so it means that in one row/price(odds) level, there would be more bots, not just the one.

Your comments helped me to realize the issue with PlaceBetInAllowedOddsRange set to False, because that is the only setting you can use in your scenario for Place Bet and Place Bet and Close Position bots, when bot trigger is set to start bet placing at exact odds. I have fixed this issue, and will update Market Bots to report about bet status.
