Bfexplorer Pro: New Bot Wizard - Trade Selection (Trailing Stop Loss / Take Profit)

Posted in From My Inbox by StefanBelo

Stefan,

I would like to propose a betting wizard enhancement for Bfexplorer Pro that would be of great value to both Pre-Event Scalpers and In-Play Traders. The new wizard, Trade Selection, would include options to set both trailing stop loss and take profit thresholds for all bets, as standard.

Please advise?

Best wishes,

John

The bet/bot wizards in the way how they are implemented in the Bfexplorer PRO allow setting bet or trading parameters in a dialog and execute your chosen strategy on the market selection.

The same bet/bot wizards are used in the trading strategy within the Trade the Selection (the ladder) and here you not only execute a chosen strategy but you set parameters of your strategy simply clicking on the ladder you set bet type, odds and/or odds range for some type of built in strategies. You can set default parameters for any strategy by clicking on the Start strategy toolbar button popup menu: Default Parameters

I welcome any new feature which could be added into any bfexplorer product, but there is some limitation, because any new feature adds a complexity into the existing user interface. When I introduced later after implementing Bot/Bet wizards, the Bot Executor I realized that it should be the way to go, so I would like to transfer this type of user interface for Bot wizards within the ladder user interface.

 

For now you can use the Bot Executor and preset your trailing stop bot:

Bfexplorer.Scripting.TraderUsingTrailingStopLossBot

With different parameters for backing and laying. I will see in the following months what I can do, to bring your suggested feature for the ladder user interface.

    Back and Lay Examples

    I have included both Back and Lay examples at SportsTrader. [http://vendire-ludorum.blogspot.com/2009/10/trade-selection-trailing-stop-loss-take.html].

    It will be very nice if BFE is able to have screen which we can see... I hope there can be posibility to include it to BFE ladder interface.

     

    Could you please give us some example for correct setting this new bot Bfexplorer.Scripting.TraderUsingTrailingStopLossBot?

    Martin, may I ask you to elaborate what you mean by this sentence?

    “It will be very nice if BFE is able to have screen which we can see...”

    When I create any custom betfair bot script I put into the header of the source code file list of parameters the bot can use, so for betfair bot:

    Bfexplorer.Scripting.TraderUsingTrailingStopLossBot

    /*
 * Used parameters:
 * 
 * BetType
 * MinimalOdds
 * MaximalOdds
 * PlaceBetAtBetterOdds
 * Odds
 * PlaceBetAtOdds
 * MarketMaker
 * Stake
 * StakeIsMyLiability
 * AllowPlacingBetInPlay
 * AtInPlayKeepBet
 * StartBetPlaceFrom
 * 
 * ClosePositionAt
 * MinOddsDifference
 * MinReturnOnInvestment
 * StopLossOnPercentageLiability
 * 
 */

    You can read more about this betfair bot in this article.
