Is "Race Status" posted by Betfair reliable enough?
My idea is to cancel and green all trades if race is about to start. So far I used only start time, but using Race Status should be more effective. So is there a way how to cancel/close/green just before actual off using race status?

Hi DavDvo,

Race status is information provided by Betfair and it appears to be working well.

You can use After bet rules->Hedge and set it to execute on selected Race Status.

We recommend you test it with small stakes to ensure it works well enough for you.

So I did a little observation and it is not what I would expect.
Wolv 17:45 - at about 17:45 status was "Going behind" and at 17:48 it changed to "Started" . Nothing in between. Is that correct? There was no UNDERORDERS and I don't realy remember that I had ever seen it before..

BTW in documentation there is "OFF" for started race, but it was "STARTED" actually

Hi David,

I am not sure about UnderOrders status, it appears that it has been removed from Betfair documentation so it is possible that that status is no longer available.

OFF = STARTED, we change API text/status to more user friendly text in some cases
