I try to set a "my bot" (ExtrabotType= PlaceBetClosePosition) with "StartBetPlaceFrom" but it's look like this parameter doesn't work.
Thanks Stefan.

Yes both bots PlaceBet and PlaceBetClosePosition use the parameter: StartBetPlaceFrom. The question is what you actually trying to do?
Do you understand how to use MyBot: Bfexplorer.Scripting.SetupBotOnRunners? You can learn more about it in this article: How to run a bot on each market selection

I understand now I should use Bfexplorer.Scripting.SetupBotOnRunner , thanks Mr. Professor!
In fact I want to set a bot using this scrip :Bfexplorer.Scripting.HamidAutoTraderBot and the parameter StartBetPlaceFrom.
But how to manage with too scripts if there is only one MyBotClassname location?

Hamid, the question was actually answered by yourself. You can run with such scenario only built-in bots, so only bots you can select by the parameter: ExtraBotType
If you want to setup custom bots and execute them on all market selections you have to program your own LookUpBot.

Thanks Stefan. I don't feel comfortable with built-in bots.
But I found another way to do it, I will use the chaining (ExecuteBotCriteriaDataFile) . The first bot use the extrat-bot Bfexplorer.Scripting.SetupBotOnRunner and the following the extra-bot Bfexplorer.Scripting.HamidAutoTraderBot.

Hamid, I really do not think you want to chain bot execution.
You want to execute automatically using the trade opportunity lookup tool your custom action bot: Bfexplorer.Scripting.HamidAutoTraderBot, with different settings on each selection maybe.
It means you do not want to chain bot execution, but you want to execute your bot on each football match odds market selection for instance. You have to setup ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile
This bot (ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile) can be an alternative for those who are not able to program betfair custom LookUpBot.

You are right, I didn't want to chain bot execution but I thought it was the best way to reach my target.
I have just 3 questions
1- I guess that the proceeding to set "ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile" is the same as the one for "ExecuteBotCriteriaDataFile"?
2- About "StartBetPlaceFrom" I tried to create a "my bot" with "Bfexplorer.Scripting.SetupBotOnRunners" but I receive this message : "failed to create the bot object instance Bfexplorer.Scripting.SetupBotOnRunners"! Maybe the most simple could be to send me a simply bot like "Place a bet" and StartBetPlaceFrom 10 minutes before the event? Like that I will compare with my bot and it will be easy to see where I am wrong.
3- By the way the bot "ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile" isn't like you told me one day "It is like two cocks on one yard."? So now Bfexplorer can do it!
Thanks you very much

Yes both bots (ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile and ExecuteBotCriteriaDataFile) use the same approach for preparing bot batch file, and configuration through MyBot setting of the Bot Executor is the same.
Actually I did not change implementation of the bot execution inside Bfexplorer PRO, so on one market selection the system executes just one bot: ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFileBot or ExecuteBotCriteriaDataFileBot.
Those bots are responsible for concurrent or chain execution of more bots.
I hope you will setup reasonable bot batch file when using ExecuteConcurrentlyBotCriteriaDataFile, because when you use bots which cannot run on the same selection then results could be unpredictable.

The parameter "StartFromTimeEnable" is missing in the last update of Bfexplorer Pro. I have 2 computers , on the Bf Explorer pro version 3.07 ,the oldest one, I have this missing parameter and the bot work (the parameter "StartFromTime" is on both).

Thanks Hamid for letting me know about this problem as it actually was introduced by last version 3.0.7. I have just released 3.6.0 version of Bfexplorer PRO fixing this StartFromTime issue. Please install the latest version of Bfexplorer PRO.
