Hedging at lower price than expected

Hi again,

Something funny just happened I cannot really explain. Got ideas but this is all.

You can see my hedge settings on the screenshots attached.
Basically the first goal was at 17mn, game started at 15h00 so the first goal was at 15h17.

Per all my conditions;
1) "Hedge if price goes up 33%"...this means 4.25...Price was at 5.2ish at first goal at 17mn
2) "hedge if price goes above 5.5." did not apply there
3) "ONly bet if score is 1-0 or 0-1...That applied there
Rule set up at hedging 180s after goal

I end up with a Hedge bet requested at 2.92 and placed at 15h18ishmn which is not 180s after the goal as per my set up

I do not see why the bot placed a back bet at this price which is not my set up!

Your Hedge->Market conditions were satisfied, as goal was scored.

"Market status change delay" does NOT mean 180s after goal is scored. It means 180s after market changes its status e.g. suspended/active. That can happen even if goal is not scored, as Betfair has right to suspend market whenever they believe it is needed.

Also I mentioned this before, simulation mode uses Betfair delayed data that can be delayed anywhere from 1s to 180s. Please read following help articles that explain this:
