Assuming I want to implement a strategy where I place a bet once a price moves to price X, how long in real time would it take from the price moving on the Betfair server to BFexplorer placing the bet? How much of this is determined by my location and distance from server etc?

Is it possible to get notified when certain markets are loaded by Betfair and a certain amount of volume is available? Eg WNBA gets loaded quite late compared to other sports and it is frustrating to contually check.

This phenomenon is called internet connection latency. While internal operations within bfexplorer are measured in nanoseconds and microseconds, most of the time, sending any request to the Betfair servers is dictated by this connection latency. Therefore, if your strategy relies on low-latency execution, you should run it from a data center located close to the Betfair infrastructure.
