Market Charts and NinjaTrader
Posted in Suggestions by max
Hi,
In the tool "Market Betfair Charts" is option "no sorting". I would like to ask whether such an option in the future may also be available in the tool "Market Charts"? When trading you need quick reactions and it is not good if every time you need to check that you can run a bot on a suitable selection, to not make a mistake. I would use only the buttons this tool because I have the same chart in the Watched Selections window.
So using the "no sorting" option and NinjaTrader, I would have something like this:

Close all positions
Posted in Suggestions by paulsobral
Hi.
I find the "close all positions" extension very usefull for my trades, and i have a question about it. Is it possible to automate or trigger the close all positions at some specific amount (profit or loss)?
For example, i want to close all positions when the overall profit is 10€ or 10%. That would be nice. And by the way what are the "enable close position" and "matchings bett timeout" for on the upper box from the extension?
Thanks in advance!
Shortcut keys for Bot Executor
Posted in Suggestions by max
Hi
Shortcut keys for Bot Executor it would be very useful functionality. For example, like this:
Bot Place Bet Back - F1
Bot Place Bet Lay - F2
Bot Close Position - F3
For me, these three shortcut keys would be sufficient.

Trade Opportunity Lookup - time interval
Posted in Suggestions by max
Hi
It would be good if in the Trade Opportunity Lookup was possible in some way to set the time interval in which I want to run bots. I would like use different strategy in two different time intervals. It would be useful in the greyhound markets.
Dutch selections
Posted in Suggestions by max
Hi
Dutch selections is a very good bot but I would suggest the extension.
I would like to do dutching on all selections in a preset odds range. So it would be useful parameters MinimumOdds and MaximumOdds. If any selection has odds > 100 I do not want it included in dutching.
Bot should automatically assign the appropriate stake depending on the number of selections in dutching. If I want to use stake 2 euro per selection it would be good if in some parameter can be set this "number of selections;stake" for example "2;4;3;6;4;8;5;10;6;12". That's when I use the total stake in the dutch type.
It seems to me also it would be better if bots Wait for profit or loss on market, Close position on market and tool Close All Positions include minimum potential profit on all selections.
Stake attribute

Štefane uvažuješ o rozšíření parametru Stake?
V současnosti je dostupné pouze: StakeIsPercentageOfMyBank
Mám na mysli něco jako Tick Profit, Book profit, Payout ...
-----------------------------------------
Dostalo se mi totiž nápadu řešit Stake pomocí sázek jako při dutchování. Samozřejmě s různými parametry na profit a loss atp.
Ptám se na veřejnou verzi. Neobohacenou o zakázkové roboty ...
Using TOL to load markets by odds criteria
Posted in Suggestions by StefanBelo
Trade opportunity lookup (TOL) tool is able to execute your bots automatically on all loaded markets. You can set a bot execution to be started at exact time relatively to event start time, the parameter Start monitoring.
If you set the parameter Start monitoring to a negative value the market monitoring (or bot execution) is started before the event start time, for instance -120 seconds means 2 minutes before the event start time.
If you do not set the Start monitoring parameter (this parameter is unchecked) then loaded markets are monitored immediately inside TOL, so your lookup bot is started for each market and evaluates criteria you set in your bot setting.
If your bot criteria are met, your lookup bot does what is instructed to do and the market is opened for monitoring in the Market window.
This is the main TOL functionality you should know about when using this tool.
What you maybe do not know is that you can use TOL without adding a lookup bot to TOL Bots to run list. In this cases as there is not lookup bot to run, TOL will open markets for monitoring at time you set in the Start monitoring parameter.
Peter asked how to load automatically all football Over/Under markets where Over 2.5 Goals will be equal or higher than 2,0 and Under 1.5 Goals will be equal or higher than 4,0. We know that TOL is able to run and evaluate bot criteria only for one market. It is possible to load two or more different markets at once, but TOL will always run your bot on one market only. So what Peter asked is not possible without building a special bot, but for one market we can use TOL to filter markets by setting market or selection criteria.
In this case we do not want to place any bet/s, only open a football Over/Under 2.5 Goals market if Over 2.5 Goals will be equal or higher than 2, so in this case we have to use a bot that will do nothing but evaluate if Over 2.5 Goals will be equal or higher than 2.
We can use bot called: Execute a bot on selections without setting the parameter BotToExecute, so no action bot will be executed. In the Selection criteria we must add the following criteria: Best odds >= 2, selection 2 (Over 2.5 Goals is 2nd selection). On the Bot Setup page we must set the parameter: Evaluate market or selection criteria only once.
If we add this bot to TOL and load all in-play Over/Under 2.5 Goals markets then TOL will open for monitoring to the Market window only those markets where Over 2.5 Goals will be equal or higher than 2.

Při řešení Lay The Draw for PetoBB strategie jsem narazil na zásadní problém. Jak ukončím robota, který čeká na splnění nějakých podmínek (CorrectScore, Odds ...) a při tom uplyne čas, který mám pro něj vymezený?
Parametrem MatchTime nastavím, kdy "nejdříve" se může robot spusti. Jak dosáhnu "nejpozději" ... (resp. rovnou ukončení robota, neboť podmínka času jednou pro vždy vyprší a už nikdy nenastane)

Stejné to je u podmínky MatchScore. Pokud padne gól na 1 - 0 , všichni roboti ve strategii co kontrolují 0 - 1, 0 - 2, 0 - 3 ... se také mohou ukončit, protože už nikdy takové CorrectScore nenastane.
Lay the draw at a goal
Posted in Suggestions by goldstar9000
Hi, im looking for some help in setting up a bot to lay the draw after the first goal
I have set up the football bot executor to place bet at a goal. do i need to just set the goal diff to 1 or would the match score need to be set to 1-0, 0-1.
I have also set up a place bet and close position bot, to be executed by the above bot, to lay the draw at odds between 3 and 5 and then close position once a specific profit or loss is reached.
Now this is the part i am having a problem with. I only want to execute this on games where under/over 2.5 goals odds are over 2. can this be automated (would TOLS do this) or would i have to do this bit manually.
thanks for any help, Paul
