ListMarketProfitAndLoss

[Guest]

Hey guys anyone know what I am doing wrong?


Calling: SportsAPING/v1.0/listMarketProfitAndLoss With args: {"marketIds":["2.101357325","2.101357327","2.101357275"],"includeSettledBets":false,"includeBspBets":false ,"netOfCommission":false}

Got Response: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[],"id":2}

Hi Troy,
1. Were the markets listed still "OPEN" when you made the call?
2. Did you have any of your own orders in the markets?

I don't call listMarketProfitAndLoss, but reading the document, I think both of the above criteria need to be met to produce a result other than what you received.

cheers

ProfitAndLoss

Thanks mate - I will do some more reading and googling. I don't think markets have to be open because when you are logged into Betfair you can get Profit and Loss months after the markets are closed. Anyway I guess its not a biggy if I can't get it working as I can calculate this on the fly anyway.

The reason I assumed something wrong is when I try to return the result into my class below it generates an error:

Dim MarketProfitAndLossBF = New MarketProfitAndLoss()
MarketProfitAndLossBF = clientBF.listMarketProfitAndLoss(marketIds, True, True, True)

listMarketProfitAndLoss

Thanks BigSprout, I did go back to the documentation and you are spot on.

Retrieve profit and loss for a given list of OPEN markets. The values are calculated using matched bets and optionally settled bets. Only odds (MarketBettingType = ODDS) markets are implemented, markets of other types are silently ignored.

To retrieve your profit and loss for CLOSED markets, please use the listClearedOrders request.

So after I had a bet on an open market and made the call, it return a potential profit and loss. So really the call to listProfitandLoss is more of a "What could I win or lose" call. The listClearedOrders is what I was looking for.
