New markets added alert
« on: 07 Jul 2017, 12:48 »
Would be possible to add to MFP sound alert when new markets are added by Betfair? Let's say I'm interested of football matches. Would be nice to know when new games are added so I can bet as soon as possible. Or is there a way to find out when they are added? I have to search BF few times daily to find out if there are new games. It's a bit of pain for me being honest.

Hi
you could save a Locator template with your search criteria and run it automatically in the Scheduler, for example every few hours.

you can also make a trigger that will alert when the number of markets in My Markets is greater than before:

actions:
alert
play sound
set user variable: name mymkts value: market_num
condition:
selections trigger expression market_num is greater than mymkts
 
use something similar without the alerts to update the user variable when you delete markets

Sorry I didn't mean to just quote you MarkV.
My response was supposed to be:

Can you create a trigger which checks for new markets every minute for example (market selector part I guess), it then opens any new markets it finds, places a bet on all selections, then logs the last market it did that in, updates the variable, closes the market and repeats indefinitely?

Hi
I think the Scheduler will check a Locator template at a maximum frequency of 3 minutes.

The markets need to be refreshing in order to run any triggers on them, so you would have to start monitoring at xxxx before scheduled start. Not quite sure what you want to do, but if for example you wanted to keep a running total of the markets that your trigger has fired in, yes that is straightforward.

Ok cool on the Scheduler part.

I guess if I had it so that it adds markets 24hours in advance it would need to start refreshing 24*60 (1440minutes) before off time.
Basically I want the trigger to go into each market and place a back bet on each selection in the market at 1000.0 for £2 then delete the market out of my markets.
Then when the scheduler runs again, only add those markets which have not got a bet in for selections @ 1000.0 for £2.

That make sense?
That is why I was thinking about keeping the market ID as a variable so it knows which it has put in the back bets for and doesn't try doing it again.

Hi
use a condition in the Locator template:
markets number of back unmatched bets is equal to 0
oh, and if you're lucky:
markets number of back matched bets is equal to 0 :)
