Triggered betting / Re: Importing selections from a file

« Last post by MarkV on 19 Jan 2025, 10:51 »

Hi
The way to do this is to put #all_active# as the last line in the text file but also import a value so the betting trigger fires only for imported selections. This then leaves all other selections available for other triggers.

text file looks like this (tab between selection name and value, and no space or CR after #all_active#):

King Dargent 1
Surrender 1
Environment Ally 1
#all_active#

trigger condition for betting on imported selections:
and selections trigger expression imported_1 is equal to 1

all other selections in the market will be visible for other triggers

Triggered betting / Importing selections from a file

« Last post by rubold on 17 Jan 2025, 13:25 »

I am familiar and have used the Import selections for autotrading button without problems.  I now want to import from a text file but keep the remaining selections available for auto-trading. So I tried Selections Name is in file......, but no selections were backed.  Do the selection names need to be enclosed within quotes?  This is not required if you use the Import selections button.

Troubleshooting / Re: Trigger not working?

Hi Tim,

Price is good.  It is the first condition that is true as shown below.  Amount to lay is a mere £5, so I don't think it's price or amount unfortunately.

Troubleshooting / Trigger not working?

« Last post by Wez on 10 Jan 2025, 23:38 »

Hi,

I have been running the X-feeder Time Machine and I can't for the life of me work out why a particular trigger isn't working.  Specifically on 21/06/24.  The funny happens within the first 5 games.  Market_id 90307554 to be specific.

There are 4 conditions and the log file shows all four as being true, yet the Lay action doesn't get executed.

I have the log files and the trigger file ready to share.

Do that here or in a PM?

I have attached the laying log file which doesn't fire a bet for game 90307554 just to get the ball rolling.
There are 2 other log files and the trigger file which I haven't attached.

regards

Suggestions / Write to file action

« Last post by Wez on 10 Jan 2025, 18:14 »

Hi,

is it possible to add the write to file action (as per MFP) to X-feeder?
It would be incredibly useful to track what's going on with triggers if things such as user variables and the trend variable could be output to align with the trigger betting actions.

This is an incredibly useful feature in MFP!

Troubleshooting / Re: Delayed data means no volume or matched bet

The decision to block or not your account is made by a human (BetFair security team).
Depends on many options.
We usually suggest to use TimeMachine for trigger development and testing - much faster and safer.

Any idea how many real bets you would need to place each day to avoid this problem? A lot of strategies in triggered betting require long periods of monitoring without any bets placed.

Hi rubold
Oxa wrote an article here which gives some good advice. I don't think it's that critical the amounts that are suggested in the article but as long as you are not refreshing markets too often and put some real money into the markets being monitored then there shouldn't be any problem. I monitor 50 or so markets almost 24/7 but put in a couple of quid as unmatched "value" bets well away from the trading range (and my real trigger). I have a green up trigger ready just in case I get lucky on the value bet . The combination of low refresh rates and putting some unmatched liquidity in to market shows consideration and gives you room to do the "long monitoring" if you see what I mean.

Hello,

Yes, that means your account has been switched to delayed mode for "commercial usage".
BetFair doesn't allow refreshing / requesting market prices without real bets.
That happens when you use only test mode - MF requests data from BetFair but doesn't send any real bets.
You have to ask BetFair support to unblock you account.
