![]() Just my annual reminder to those BF users out there that may not be aware that every year on this special day they manage to stuff up the start times of many Aussie meetings.
Some are showing an hour before jump time, some an hour after, have fun linking up your bots etc, I know I always do... |

![]() If a bot is written correctly then it should use the markettime field. This is a long (which is a very large number in programming) with the number of seconds since a certain date. So regardless of display time the timing of your bot should be spot on.
I have noticed numerous display time errors today but the actual markettime field has been perfect. There has been no issues at all if using this field. |
