Calling triggers as subroutines
« on: 05 Nov 2022, 22:33 »
Hi,

I would like to have the same logic happen under several circumstances. Can I contain that logic in a trigger and then "call" it when the circumstances happen? 

For example, in the Correct Score market, if the score is 2-1 or 1-2 and the match minute is less than 60, I want to: calculate a stake, place a lay bet on the current score, write to the log and send an email. Or if the score is 3-0 or 0-3 any time, I want to write to the log and green up for a profit or distribute the loss.

I would like to contain the three or four sets of logic in one place, test for score and match minute, and call the right logic. 

How would I do this?

Thank you,
Jim

Hi
What you describe in your examples can be done perfectly in triggers.
Please see attached trigger file which contains 2 triggers.

The first trigger will:
lay current score
send email
write to log
IF
current score is 2-1 or 1-2
match minute is less than 60

Second trigger will:
trade out any selection with an opening trade to even profit or even loss
write to log
IF
current score is 3-0 or 0-3

Naturally this is an example based your description so you can see how it is done. Please use test mode.
