Help get the best price not the aviable
« on: 14 Feb 2013, 15:15 »
Hi i am doing a trigger that do the folowing
 First 2 minutes before the start do a back bet OK
 Then after 6 minutes do a lay bet with this conditions
 
         Lay price is equal or less than r_ticks(bm_backp,-2)

Everything its fine. But sometimes for example the best bet in the back side its 9 and in the lay side its 9.6. I did my first back at 10, so 9.6 will be correct but in this case i would like to improve and put the trigger 9.2  because its the best lay possible now. This can be done.

Thanks for the help

hi
with your betting trigger put this in the price box
r_ticks(back_price,1)

this will send a lay bet out at 1 tick more that the back price.
so back price=9.00
send a lay bet out at 9.20

hi
yes.
BUT the lay price many times is well above the back price until the market settles.
so by using the lay-1 tick could cause many bets not been taken/matched
to use the market back book% at 103 or less means the market is at it's best, so the back prices will be at there best
