Matched Back Volume and Matched Lay Volume

Hi,

I am aware that in MFP there is a matched_volume variable but this relates to total back/lay matched.

Are there Matched Back Volume and Matched Lay Volume variables ?

If not is this something the BF Api can support ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Are they not the same thing

No they are not the same thing.

Matched Volume = Total Back/Lay matched volume.

I would like.....

Back Matched Volume Only and Lay Matched Volume only. Two separate amounts.

My mistake then

.

But I cannot fathom the difference

Or significance

? I'm confused too. How can you have a difference? If I stake a lay of $100 at $2 it will only be matched if someone backs $100 at 2. matched_volume = $200

What have I got wrong as well?
.......

Are you meaning back_payout and lay_payout variables? or lay_volume and back_volume...these are different again.

I dont want to know the total volume matched on back / lay.

I want to know how much money has been matched on the back side and seperatley on the lay side so i can do some calculations.

matched_volume = total matched on both back and lay.

back_volume and lay_volume = the amount waiting to be matched.

The sum of the three amounts offered at the best back prices is called back_volume

The sum of the three amounts offered at the best lay prices is called lay _volume.

Both of these amounts refer to unmatched volume

Not sure about the total for all unmatched at all prices.

I suppose that could be used as a technical indicator. I assume it could be done with a trigger that looks at the last trade price and look at the spread so we know if it was a lay or a back.

I wasn't interested in unmatched amounts.

I want to know how much has been matched on the back side of the book and how much has been matched on the lay side of the book per market selection, not the total for the entire book.

Last_trade is the "matched price" and then you can look at the spread if that correlates to a back or lay matched bet. Then use traded_last to get the matched amount you can then increment a user variable with the "matched amount" etc...

I would also use a condition of volume change so that you will not count a bet multiple of times.

This is just a way of how it could be solved.

Larp, Did you find any gold in this theory?

Londo,

I don't know about any gold, but I can tell you that Faraway Hills Are Green!

I was never good at cryptic crosswords
