event_start / race distance
« on: 03 Oct 2013, 10:47 »
I want to trade only certain races, so I am searching the trigger condition/s for:

1) till inclusive scheduled time 5:00 pm (the real-event-off or delays are non-relevant)
2) only race distances less than 1.3m

1) selections trigger expression event_start is equal or less than 17:00
2) selections trigger expression market_length is less than 2212,848

1) doesnt work !
and the event_start is problematical in: what time I have to take, my german local time or bf-england-time?
2) is that correct ?

thx for your help.

Hi
1)   Global Current Time is equal or less than 17:00
2)   I make it: 1 mile = 1609.344 metres. 1609.344 x 1.3 = 2092.1472

hi,

thx for your very quick replay.

1) global current time is not exactly what I want: if there is a race with scheduled time 17:00 (5 pm) but has a delay of 20 minutes, my trigger wouldnt trade it.
if I set the trigger to 17:20, it would trade also races with start-event-time later than 17:00 what I dont want.
so: event-scheduled-time is important for me. is there any possibilty?

2) oh, my fault: I wanted to say 1m3f, so should be 11f, so 2212,848

Hi again

1) Took a little while to figure it out, but I think I have it:
    selections trigger expression event_start is equal or less than INTEGER(event_start)+0.7083333
    Explanation:
    17:00 event_start today       = 41550.7083333
    17:00 event_start tomorrow = 41551.7083333
    17:00 event_start any day   =  INTEGER(event_start)+0.7083333

2) correct
