  • Hi

    I have just started using this bit and am a bit lost on setting up my own trigger.

    I would like it to note the favourite 10secs before the race, then if the favourite goes up by 5 I want the system to lay £1

    If some one could tell me how to go about this I would be extremely grateful

    Kind regards

  • Hi
    Please see the attached trigger.
    You can set the drift ticks in the constant.

    Some info on what it does:
    First trigger remembers the favourite 10 seconds before the off under the name “fbo”
    The second trigger lays the remembered selection in-play if it’s lay price is greater, by the Constant “dt” ticks, than the remembered lay price at 10 secs before the off.

    For the amount you specified to lay you need the following setting set:
    Settings > Betting Options > Allow small bets

    and you should be mindful of the minimum bet size at Betfair.

    Please use the trigger in test mode until you are confident with it.

  • Hi,

    Many thanks for your reply. I will have a go. This there any type of manual for the building of triggers?

  • Hi
    The pdf manual for download is here:
    http://marketfeeder.co.uk/download/MF7_manual_eng.pdf

    Towards the top-right of the main screen, and in the trigger editor, is a button with a question mark. That's the built-in help file.

    and here are some tutorial videos:

  • Hi

    Sorry if I am sounding thick but do clicks refer to the price of the horse?

    The trigger you sent me doesn't seem to be activating when the price of the favourite increases by 5?

    Also is there a way of the system automatically placing the bet without me having to click Yes?

    Kind regards

  • Hi
    Ticks are the increments of a selections price movement.
    If a selections back price moves from 1.68 to 1.70 it has increased by 2 ticks
    If a selection lay price moves from 2.08 to 2.06 it has decreased by 1 tick
    Tick increment sizes are:
    Price        Tick increment size  
    1.01 to 2     0.01
    2 to 3        0.02
    3 to 4        0.05
    4 to 6        0.1
    6 to 10       0.2
    10 to 20      0.5
    20 to 30      1
    30 to 50      2
    50 to 100     5
    100 to 1000  10


    The trigger will lay if the price has increased by 5 ticks from 10 secs before the off
    example:
    10 secs before off fav back price is 1.84
    in-play if the favs back price rises above 1.89 (5 ticks) it will lay

    The market must be refreshing at least 30 seconds before the off

    For the confirmation:
    Settings > General Options > Request confirmation for every critical operation should be unticked

  • Many thanks, I suppose ideally the trigger would be graduated to take those thresholds into account.

  • Hi Podlingfoot

    As I understand it the trigger is "graduated to take those thresholds into account" because it bets [X] ticks above the remembered price. (variable dt in Mark's trigger).
    So if dt=5 and the remebered odds were 5, it would lay at 5 plus 5 ticks which would be 5+5 x 0.1 = 5.5.

    If you remembered one at odds of 10 it would lay at 10+10 x 0.5 = 15.
