Hi
All the time the market is idle (not in-play) the trigger will give the "inappropriate state of the market" message. The trigger executes as soon as the market turns in-play. You should check the trigger logs at that point in time.
Here is the procedure you should be doing:
Settings:
General Options > Untick Request confirmation for every critical operation
Monitoring Options > Start monitoring events at 1 min before beginning
Monitoring Options > Idle refresh rate 1.00, In-play refresh rate 0.3
Confirm you have test funds available
Save settings, restart program
Confirm you have test funds available on the main screen, if not click transfer test funds.
Ensure the trigger file is loaded: click triggers link on main screen and click open triggers button
Click the red Triggers bulb to turn it green
Load markets
Import selections using Import selections for auto-trading button
(the program should tell you how many selections were imported)
Everything should now be set up.
If no bets are placed after a market has turned in-play, please check the trigger logs - you will find the reason why not in there.
This video might be of some help, slides 36 onwards demonstrate importing selections.

type of market means you are not monitoring the WIN market, or reading the log for the PLACE market.
I really do think you should develop this one stage at a time, so you can test each part and then move on to the next. In my screenshot 3 posts back this is what I have done.
Take 1 market in say an hours time (or when you are free to watch it)
Make a small sample text file relevant only to a few selections in that market and put in some prices so you can test the conditions.
Once you are happy with the way it works, then you can move on to the next stage.
