Who wrote the FILLORKILL routine? Does the bet get placed? Can you cancel it 20 seconds later? Remember there'll be a delay to take into account of it's in play.

I found this somewhere on the forums
GR = "{""jsonrpc"": ""2.0"", ""method"": ""SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders"", ""params"": {""marketId"":""1.109850906"",""marketType"":""PLA CE"",""instructions"":[{""selectionId"":""237486"",""handicap"":""0"",""s ide"":""BACK"",""orderType"":""LIMIT"",""limitOrde r"":{""size"":""5"",""price"":""5"",""persistenceT ype"":""LAPSE"",""timeInForce"":""FILL_OR_KILL""," "minFillSize"":""5""}}]}, ""id"": 1}"

before converting to using the api i was able to use

Back FILLORKILL 2 to back a runner and filloekill after 2 seconds

i did send a bet using fillorkill and it was accepted

What i am after is

Is fillorkill valid in the api and is my code correct

Fill or Kill is valid in the API as per http://docs.developer.betfair.com/do...FillorKillbets

I think you're getting a bit confused how "native" fill or kill works - when you send a FOK order to the exchange it will either fill it or kill it (as it says on the tin).

The 20 seconds cancel thing is something you need to implement yourself i.e. you're creating your own synthetic fill or kill or order by sending a normal order (without the time in force set to fill or kill) and then if it's not filled in 20 seconds you're cancelling it yourself. However, this kind of synthetic order is more like a "good till date" time in force as you are not guaranteed to fill entire the order if you implement it synthetically like this (you can get filled less than your target qty).

Thanks for Advice

I understand your comments re fill kill appreciate your advice


It's a pity there are not simple examples in code for each calling function, it would certainly help a lot...!!!!
