  • hi,
    my trigger has a habit of falling asleep. Often I notice it
    hasn't placed a (test mode) bet for several races and to
    remedy that I press the 'reload' button and it does its
    thing and immediately places a bet. I've tried closing MFP and
    starting it again and it works for a couple of hours or so and then
    nods off again.
    Does anyone know why this happens ?

  • Hi
    If you check the trigger logs at the point in time where it stops working, or later, it should give you some idea.
    Otherwise if you post your trigger file, I will test it.

  • hi
    there are a few reasons for this.
    the main reasons are profit/loss limits been reached that you have set in your triggers or that you have set in the settings of the bot.
    so when you restart the triggers all profit/loss figures are reset, so the triggers go until the limit is reached again.

  • Thanks guys,
    I'll have a look at this over the weekend. I'll have a bit more
    time then.

  • Mark & mcbee,

    All seems to be fine now after not doing anything.
    It seemed to be off colour for a day but righted itself
    I also had a problem yesterday with bets not being automatically settled
    over several hours for US and RSA tracks but I think that may have been a Befair issue
    as all okay again.
    Thanks

    A lot of my working triggers are now not working, due to random failure of the Betfair results service ie. no settled p/l figures available.  This is a serious problem.  I have had to redesign a number of triggers to find the winner by the last traded price on event suspension and calculate p/l using that.  This works OK for horse racing where in-play markets are available, but no use for Greyhounds and not very good for football where the market is frequently suspended.

  • Thanks rubold, we are singing from the same hymn sheet.
    It was a Betfair problem by the sounds of it.
    Today it has worked perfectly, so may have been rectified !
