Option to ignore matchet bets
« on: 09 Sep 2009, 12:33 »
Hi,

I wonder if anybody else has a computer performance problem if the list of matched bets is large ( 100 or more matched bets). Is it possible to make an enhancement of MPF not to process or request matched bets?

We are aware of this problem Martin: it has to do with the fact that bets can be downloaded maximum 100 items per one request, so if you get more, the program needs to connect to BetFair several times to download all your bets. Plus, as the data comes in XML, it takes longer time to extract the figures from the tags.

But what exactly are you proposing - to have the option not to download the matched bets altogether? What about the fact that you won't see your P/L in that case?

Thanks Oxa, the P/L is calculated by MFP from matched bets? This is a big surprise for me because P/L figures look ok for me even if list of bets is requested independed from markets at large refresh intervalls.

But what exactly are you proposing - to have the option not to download the matched bets altogether? What about the fact that you won't see your P/L in that case?

Yes, Option to disable download of unmatched bets would be fine. But I still want to see P/L. I was not aware of the fact that MFP needs matched bets to calculate P/L and does not use the GetMarketProfitAndLoss API call.

Martin, if MF Pro had to call GetMarketProfitAndLoss to get P/L, on top of getting the list of bets, this would be yet more load of the traffic and would add to the number of requests that the software makes to BetFair.

So the fact that the program can calculate the P/L on its own, using the matched bets alone, means that it saves you traffic and allows you to spend free requests on something more useful.

Thanks Oxa, so it is no good idea to stop download the list of bets. Please desregard my suggestion. Obviously my trigger files are not sensitive to delayed display of P/L (but very sensitive to delayed display of unmatched bets) so that I did not see the impact of of unmatched bets to P/L.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
