Bfexplorer is not only trading platform for betfair but bot development platform as well. If you are familiar with any .NET programming language you can use Bfexplorer BOT SDK to program your own bot. Well that is nice, but what about a common betfair user who is not a software developer or enthusiast programmer? If your bot can be constructed from existing ones then you can use the bot: Chain execution on selection/market.
For instance if you want to create betfair trading bot that would close bet position in profit by hedging when 2 ticks profit is reached, and close position in 3 ticks loss by NET stake, then you can use following bots: Place bet, Close position, Wait for profit or loss on selection, If profit then else, and Chain execution on selection.

The Bfexplorer PRO supports bot script development in Visual Basic or C# programming languages. So if you are a familiar with one of those language you can write your own trading and lookup bot scripts. The Bfexplorer PRO has a simple text editor for writing bot scripts, the bot script source code can be compiled so you can check this way if the code you wrote is without errors, but there is no support for debugging nor the text editor has no capabilities offered by integrated development environment like the VS2008 so this editor is suitable only for small changes of code or changing parameters in existing bot scripts. If you want to write more complicated bot scripts you should use Bfexplorer BOT SDK .net trading platform.
