Troubleshooting / Re: Market status stuck at dormant

« Last post by MarkV on 01 Apr 2026, 17:51 »

Ok. Thank you MarkV for confirmation. Is any possibility to check in MF PRO 8 if this functionality in Betfair works? I'm thinking about modify trigger, to make another action IF Betfair sucks (for example bet before scheduled start not before actual start in this case)

The other software forum shows that Betfair are aware of the problem, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

At the moment race_status for horse races is showing as -1
But if race_status is working it should be between 0 and 21

so you can make conditions to do your other action if race_status is equal to -1

Hi
Other API software forums are showing similar problems, they have reported the issue to Betfair.

I am not sure that this is an issue with Marketfeeder itself, as I don't see the status within betfair either (and I think they did use to show it there also) - I am wondering if they have stopped providing it.

I will have to clone my trigger and start a rewrite - I had these in to protect against betting too soon, when racing was delayed etc, but in the absence of this will have to revert back to just betting before expected race start. If it reappears I can always start using the existing one again.

The same problem. 

Race status (over list of horses) is working ok - but this one shows 'Idle' status only before start and 'In-Play' after, but race status in the top line on right side disappeared today at all!

I need race status 'At The Post', "Going Behind' or "Under Orders" to place bet.

Not even showing Dormant today.  I removed the trigger that checked if status was At the Post or Gong Behind, so everything else works fine.  I hope this isn't further evidence of attrition of the software.

I have the same.

The ongoing horse races are still dormant. The market is constantly refreshing, I can see the price fluctuations, and everything seems fine. However, the market status remains dormant, and the triggers aren't working.

Troubleshooting / Market status stuck at dormant

« Last post by shirtless on 31 Mar 2026, 18:17 »

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced and issue with this today. 

I have triggers that only place bets, when the market moves to either at the post, going behind, or under orders. This has worked fine for me for at least a year until today, where I noted it was not placing any bets.

I reviewed the logs and saw that the status was not reaching the correct status, so I watched the next few races and saw that the market was always just showing as dormant. I just wanted to check if anyone else uses this and if they saw the issue to find out if its just an issue for myself or something with Betfair itself not passing the info over.

I guess I will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings and work out how easy it would be to remove it.

As my compound trigger has evolved over time I find that there is over twenty different parts of the trigger that use it and so its not like I can just remove it from one place and so will take this as  a warning and that it is time to rewrite the tigger now I have it how I want it to rationalise on repeats like this so it just calls it once - that will teach me to be lax!!!!!!

Triggered betting / Re: Functions inside Formulas error

« Last post by MarkV on 19 Mar 2026, 06:28 »

Hi
Do you have a constant or user variable with "back_price" in its name - that would mess up parsing the formula.

Triggered betting / Functions inside Formulas error

« Last post by VF on 18 Mar 2026, 07:20 »

Hello, maybe someone knows how to express functions like r_ticks(back_price, 1) inside Formulas. For example: IF(lay_amount>50, r_ticks(back_price, 1), back_price). In this case MF doesn't initialize r_ticks(back_price,1). So, in Log I get: IF(40>50, r_ticks(back_price, 1), 4.50)
