Every bot must run on selection. But some bots can run on ANY selection (it does not affect for bot´s work). For this case my idea is The ZERO selection - virtual selection for bots which works on whole market, not on curent selections.

The user interface of any bfexplorer application is context sensitive, it means that depending on which component of the user interface is selected the application (bfexplorer program) offers a set of features you can execute on this selection.
It is quite clear that you can select a market or a market selection, therefore you can execute two types of bots, on a market selection (Bot) or on a market itself (LookUpBot). A bot is a piece of code executed each time bfexplorer backend detects any changes on a market. The bfexplorer backend feeds a bot with data, and as we have got two types of bots, the first one receives a selection data automatically, the second one operates on the whole market.
Of course both bot types have access to the market data as well as to the base set of betfair api commands, so your bot can place bets, updates them and cancel, and of course your bot can execute other bot, or stop the market monitoring.
The system allows to run only one bot per selection what makes sense, on the other hand you can run as many LookUpBot-s as you want to. After introducing the Bot Executor you have got opportunity to use any bot script parameterized or preset using the Bot criteria editor, so without any programming you can use this bot setting only with Trade opportunity lookup tool, that you could use only with custom programmed LookUpBot script before.

Bfexplorer PRO plug-in: Market Bot Executor
Well today I found an usability for such approach, possibility to execute a bot on a market, not on a market selection.
Open My Tools / My Solutions / Market Bot Executor
From prebuilt bots there is only one bot you can use using the Market Bot Executor, it is the bot called: Close position in the market
From custom bots I built for education purposes you can use the bot: Bfexplorer.Scripting.EventNotificationBot
