Triggers won't start executing
« on: 08 Feb 2023, 16:16 »
Hi, new here - has anyone had similar problems with triggers suddenly not firing/initiating at all. 

The triggers are the downloaded learning horse & greyhound trigger profiles which were running fine for nearly 3 weeks. Now all the trigger logs & execution shows is when the markets are finished.  Initialisation of constants are not even executed at startup. Already tried everything like reinstalling MF & profile applications, creating new trigger file copies and deleting log folders. It's the same issue on both laptop computers.
I can only use manual betting and greenup for now.

Hi
Check the following settings:
General Options > Request confirmation for every critical operation should be unticked
Betting Options > No triggering till x mins before start should be unticked
Monitoring Options > Start monitoring.... should be ticked and an appropriate number of minutes before start should be entered
Stop monitoring events.... should be unticked

Thanks, but I did check all the settings were ok several times.  Issue still persists. Any other suggestions to try?

Hi
I tested that trigger last night and it worked ok.
Please check your Program log for any obvious error messages.

That trigger is quite a complex one and contains 2 strategies so it is more difficult to troubleshoot.

Please try the attached trigger in test mode or Time Machine on a horse racing market.
It is straightforward back the fav 2 mins before off and trade out for profit or loss at 30 secs before the off.

The market should be loaded into My Markets well before start time
In the settings you can set start monitoring to 3 mins before the off, idle refresh rate say 3 secs

If this trigger fails to fire, please check your program and trigger logs.

Running your trigger on my default profile did work so I loaded the same Greyhound trigger into this default profile with a manually selected race.  This Trigger is firing fine now....so it is really strange I'm going to try create another profile for the greyhound and horses again as I already tried reinstalling mf & both profiles before.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
