Asked before - need to ask again
« on: 17 Jul 2017, 09:07 »
Hi

Without giving the details for the LittleAcorns system away, I am sure most, if not everyone knows that it is laying the favourite, with certain conditions.

I have been able to cater for MOST of the conditions in my trigger, BUT, I DO NOT want to use a staking plan through MFP. This is because MFP does not have the ability to be able to separate strategies, and so, if you have a staking plan in multiple strategies, the resulting calculation of NEXT stake is based on the result of previous races, which is why a separate strategy system is an essential requirement - sadly, MFP does not offer this.

My resolve to this is to do the calculations for each strategy myself, and just have triggers to do the selections.

My problem is that I want to be able to use the stakes for each strategy via a text file. This text file will be updated by me, and I want MFP to be able to read the stake from the text file, and place it on the selection I am using.

In terms of the LittleAcorns system, I want to be able to add a simple text file, with r_1_sel_name(tab)10 - which as we know, is a trigger expression, followed by a tab, followed by the stake to use.

It is this stake that I want to update manually.

This approach does not work in MFP, because if I use the import feature, then nothing is imported, so I cannot use imported_1 as the stake value.

I did manage to use Excel with success on this, but, as Oxa has pointed out, it is not efficient, and when using it, MFP did actually crash a number of times, and occasionally, when I had other instances of Excel running, it was not accessible.

So, can anybody help get the stake from a text file.

In terms of LittleAcorns, if anybody is thinking that I could just use a selections name and extract the stake this way, then what happens if this selection becomes a non-runner? Yes, I can list every selection in the race, and have the same stake attached to each and use imported_1 - but this is a very long way round this issue. Hopefully, there is a simpler way.

Thanks

Mark.

Hello!

I'm sorry, but there is currently no way to read from file and parse trigger variables.

I'm not sure what to advise in this case: obviously, I wouldn't recommend to run two staking plans in one account simultaneously.

Maybe someone else will be able to recommend something.
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!
