Hi,

Having some issues today with bots for the horse markets not working. All bots have previously worked fine and not changes have been to them.

Today so far nothing has happened though. On this particular bot that was set to enter on the 14:40 race I got the following from the log file
Code: Select all
04/03/2021 14:38:35: ReadTips Exception: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
   at System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles styles)
   at CsvHelper.TypeConversion.DateTimeConverter.ConvertFromString(TypeConverterOptions options, String text)
   at lambda_method(Closure )
   at CsvHelper.CsvReader.<GetRecords>d__1`1.MoveNext()
   at Framework.TipsController.LICtDC1qIM(IEnumerable`1  )

This error is reported for imported tips, start time is not properly formatted, so bot is unable to import tips and parse start time.

If you keep having problems then open new support ticket and send us tips file, strategy file, screenshots of loaded markets, imported tips and all other relevant settings that you might be using.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the tip import time or event start time.
