Setting up bots and stopping them
Posted in From My Inbox by StefanBelo
Can I set up more than one bot at a time on the same race or does the second bot automatically cancel the first one?
How do I stop a bot from continuing to run?

You can run a bot on each market selection, but with bettors version you have to setup such bot manually using the bot wizard only.
The Bfexplorer PRO offers better functionality for running bots, have a look at bot executor, trade opportunity lookup service, and execute my strategy on selections.
On a selection you can run only one bot, so if you want to run for instance two different bots on one selection when the previous bot ended its execution, chaining this way more bots in a batch, then this can be done as anything with a bespoke solution we could develop for you such bespoke solution according to your specification, such service are not for free.
To stop the bot execution you have to select the selection on which the bot is executed and then click on the stop bot toolbar button. If you want to stop the bot and cancel all unmatched bets then click on the toolbar button Stop and cancel, this toolbar button is on the stake toolbar, and in on the Trade the Market toolbar.
The same functionality can be set for stop bot toolbar button in its popup menu where you can set the default action for this toolbar button. The stop bot command is also on the context menu when you click with the right mouse button on a selection.
On the Start Page there are displayed all actions running by bfexplorer so you can see there the list of market on which you placed bets, the list of all monitored markets and the list of all markets on which you run a bot. If you click on the right mouse button on such market in the My Bots group the context menu appear where you can stop all bots running on the market and/or stopping the bot and cancelling all unmatched bets.
As you can see you have got couple options how to do the same.
