Trading Bot (Perl, PHP, C++)

[chess]

Hello,

is it still possible & useful
to programm an automated
trading system on basis of
Perl, Phyton or C?

Does someone have any
experience with it?

best, chess

Yes. Betfair provide libraries for python c# and vba but not for perl. And there's python open source (
https://betcode-org.github.io/betfair/) for data collection (full api stream), backtesting and trading. I use c# and wrote my own system around the Betfair libraries. The biggest advantage is that you're not limitted by the feature list of consumer level software. .

thank you. can you recommend
a board/community where other
coders for betfair bots discuss
and help each other?

The Slack Betcode channel.

thx! and can you recommend
some books or video tutorial,
too?

[ShaunWhite]

Not really. It's such a small industry that books at a high level don't really exist. But there's lots of helpful people there, example code etc. There's programming books and lots of academic papers about strategy, just that the info hasn't been brought together.

ok, thank you
(and see PM )

You should check out the Bet Angel automation and API: -

We’ve done most of the hard work for you, so you can dabble without spending a lot of time writing the code.
