Hi

I wonder if you can help me at all.

The maximum fill or kill in seconds seems to be 9999 which is 166 minutes or 2hrs 40mins if i am correct.

Is there a way to extend this to a longer time period?

Say i wanted to put a bet at 1 price before i went to sleep and then wanted it automatically offset by 1 tick once matched or after the fill or kill limit was reached (maybe partial match).

If i do this now whilst i am asleep i have to wait until the morning to see if i was matched and then offset manually myself- is there a way to set "fill or kill" say for 8 hours?

It is key to me that the offset side of the bet is not placed until the first is matched

Thanks in advance

The upper limit is how many 9's you can get into the box, just checked and it appears 99999. Is the upper limit. Be careful though as Betfair do time out API sessions over night and this halts the connection. If you log in via connection mode 1 however, this does not happen.
