Horse Racccing Automation - Market Susupended In Play!?

[melvidge]

I've been testing some relatively successful bots I've been developing for IP trading. The biggest problem seems to be, that on occassion, and during the running (checking the logs) I get 'Market Suspended' before being unsuspended. - during the event

Today, it's just happened again for around 10 seconds. Is this a local comm's issue - or something that just happens from Betfair from time to time?

Probably be more help to people if you stated the race and when it occurred as there are plenty of false starts in racing that cause the same sequence of events. I haven't personally noticed any midrace suspensions in the markets.

Thank you for your prompt response. The interruption occurred near the end of the race - which was 'Lingfield Park, 20th Dec - 13:45 7f Nursery'. Here's a snippet from just one of my logs, from this event - suspended at 13:47:02, unsuspended at 13:47:11..

However, if it was unique to me (occurred simultaneously across 3 different bots) then I can only assume that it was a local comm's interruption - unless anyone knows otherwise?
