Hi all,

Really enjoying my time with Bet Angel and can see lot's of potential !!

I am on a steep learning curve with automations and looking for some guidance on the Market Status Condition.

I am see there is an option for "The market is closed". However I remember reading somewhere that the Betfair API does not support 'closed' and only returns 'suspended'.
Can anybody confirm if this is correct?

To identify where a market is truly closed I have seen proposals to check if there has been any change on other conditions over a set time period (such as 180 seconds) and if no change, then this can be used to imply the market is closed. Can anybody confirm if this is the best approach and if so what condition would be the best?

If the above is true - then when is the condition "Market Status condition = The market is closed" intended be used??

Appreciate any advise on this,

Kind regards,
Paul

It is supported otherwise would not be in the software.

There's plenty of examples in the shared files and customization are which use it like this one which retrieves the winners names - after they have closed the market

That's a very useful configuration.

Just two further questions if I may ask?

1) is Daily P&L once a market is settled ?


2) Further on this Daily P&L - is there a way of incorporating this into your rule file to say no more bets if say Daily P&L > 100 for example?

Daily profit and loss is not retrieved from Betfair, there is an example file in the shared files section that display it in Guardian, but it does this by first taking your balance when the rule is applied to your markets at the start of the day, then adding/subtracting the P/L from each market after its closed

Yes you stop rules from triggering based in this, a few people on the thread above have asked about that and instructions on how to do it are on the thread
