Help with a new trigger please

Hi everyone.
I want a trigger that will do the following if possible.
Market all uk and irish horse racing win markets.

If the price of the 2nd fav increases by 3 ticks, AND the price of the 1st fav decreases by 3 ticks, then back/lay then green up on the 1st fav.

But if the price of the 2nd fav decreases by 3 ticks, and the price of the 1st fav increases by 3 ticks then lay/back then green up on the 1st fav.

I do not want anything to happen in play.

Is this possible?
I know there are some really hot trigger people here, so i am hoping you maybe able to help me.

I have no objection to paying someone to do this if it is a difficult trigger to work out.
Thanks in advance.
Jake

Right
The best way i can think of to to get towards the above triggers, is to take an existing trigger and modify it, such as the "back favorite if 2nd favorite is x number of ticks away"
so i am thinking that my 1st trigger would be to back the favorite IF the 2nd favorites price drops by 3 ticks.

So do i write this into the conditions box?
Or have i got to do another trigger box for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

HI Jake2bits

ok your strategy should be possible to implement, I will work on it for you

OK to to quickly start this trigger development off

 the simplest way, although I don't think it's the best

Set up a trigger to BACK, Not in Play, Selection = Favourite, Amount = default_backa

Conditions ARE MET

Favourite's Back Price Dif over 1 minute is equal or greater than 3
and Second Favourite's Back Price Dif over 1 minute is equal or less than -3

Then set up a trigger to GREEN UP, set your profit percentage, Selection should be set to

FIRST MATCHING SELECTION

and condition should be

Any Selections Back_matched > 0

Try this as a backing trigger first, then we could look at making it Lay if the price scenario is reversed, but we would need to make sure the Lay trigger doesn't go off if it's already opened a back position and vice versa

Hi Jake...
To develop any trigger you need to be VERY SPECIFIC in defining the circumstances under which you would bet so that MF Pro can take those specifics and bet for you while you go and have a cup of tea ...or whatever!

If the price of the 2nd fav increases by 3 ticks, AND the price of the 1st fav decreases by 3 ticks, then back/lay then green up on the 1st fav.

But if the price of the 2nd fav decreases by 3 ticks, and the price of the 1st fav increases by 3 ticks then lay/back then green up on the 1st fav.

Again in your next post you say

so i am thinking that my 1st trigger would be to back the favorite IF the 2nd favorites price drops by 3 ticks.

1st...the words I've made bold in your request imply change in price over a certain time period. What time period did you have in mind? 1 minute as richpotter has assumed in his advice? ...in the last 30 seconds, ...2 minutes, the last hour and 12 minutes...what?

2nd... the phrases I've put in italics in your request are ambiguos...please explain! Do you want to back then lay then green up?

3rd ... You've specified when to back but not when the the lay to green up/secure a profit should be placed. What is that?

richpotter advice is along the right lines however it makes the selection based on price difference in the last 1 minute whereas you specified a tick difference so modifying his advice slightly I would say:

Favourite's Back Ticks Dif over 1 minute is equal or greater than 3
and Second Favourite's Back Ticks Dif over 1 minute is equal or less than -3

Hope you find this advice useful
