Just baffled...I set up the Lay The Draw Bot to hedge 180s after the first goal and I got an back hedge 9mn later!!

180s (3mn) after the goal (my set up) and some delay on Simulation mode could lead to 9mn delay in total?

In simulation mode data can be delayed up to 180s.

Market can be suspended for several seconds when goal is scored.

Delayed data is not synchronized, so bot can receive suspended market multiple times after goal is scored.

Your hedge can be delayed by your settings by another 180s.

Depending on your hedge rules, like min/max price, back/lay ratio it can take several seconds for market prices to form and for offer to be valid before hedge can execute.

This means 180s+180s=360s and some time to get valid market offer and for bot to cycle through all markets and download prices.

That is all 7+ minutes.

You did not post any of your settings, so we do not know what hedge settings you used. If price was on edge of your max price then that could also prevent hedge from executing etc.

Loss hedging is at price 2.5 below Lay price matched (only) and hedging set up at 1-0 or 0-1 goal (only).

So maybe after all, I set up 180s for an hedging bet to be placed after any potential VAR but if i remove this rule, I am saving 180s!

You should not remove that rule, you just need to understand that simulation mode is using delayed data and that it is not realistic in this case. In real mode there is no delay and data is synchronized, so hedge would happen faster.

You should not remove "Market status change delay" rule as your hedge bet could be voided if VAR disallows goal after bet is placed. Bot will not attempt to hedge again as it will move on to other markets/selections, as it will consider hedge completed, as it placed bet.
