What does mean: Evaluate other criteria only once?

Posted in Bfexplorer Products by Hamid

Hi Stefan,

I downloaded the last bfexplorer pro version and I noticed a new feature ; "Evaluate other criteria only once" in the Bot criteria editor.  What's this?

Thanks

   Hi Hamid

   The other criteria were meant the market and selection criteria.

   You already know that if you define any of them then your bot execution is processed in two steps when market and/selection criteria are evaluated and your action bot (define by setup bot page) is postpone till all market and selection criteria are met. This feature is used mostly when running such bot setting with the Trade opportunity lookup tool (TOL).

   In some betting or trading strategies is required to evaluate this criteria only once, similar like with the tool: Execute my strategy on selections, and in others till all criteria are met. Therefore I introduced this new parameter to the bot settings and is applied only when using such bot setting with TOL.

   For instance you would like to execute a trading session during in-play on a favorite in a tennis match when odds on the favorite are in some range, then you will use TOL to execute your bot setting without setting this parameter: Evaluate other criteria only once, because you want TOL to repeat evaluation of your selection criteria.

   On the other hand if you would like to execute pre-event trading on some horse racing at preset time and only when your market and/or selection criteria are met, then you will have to set the parameter: Evaluate other criteria only once, because you want to execute this trading session only when your criteria are met, exactly at the time before race off.
