Green up Trigger
« on: 29 Jan 2014, 16:11 »
Hi everyone :)

I am trying to create a trigger for Horse racing that green up with equal profit on every horse no matter who wins the race.

So, I back, 3 (for example) different horse before the race start.
When the race goes live, the trigger try to green up the market, if at any moment of the race there is a guarantee x€ profit.

thank tou :)

green up is a drop down option when you make a trigger, just like back and lay are.  So you can make your initial back trigger and then make a separate one just below in in the trigger block that does the greening up.  You set the % profit that you want to achieve.

Remember to make the trigger active inplay otherwise it wont fire during a race!

hi mcbee

that trigger not work for what i need, i will try to explain why:

what that trigger does is lay all backs i did  with 16% profit and wait for get matched...

but for example:
before race starts:
I Back 5€ each
horseA odd 20
horseB odd 10
horseC odd 15

race starts:
after 20sec (for example)

HorseA  lay odd at 25
HorseB lay odd at 15
HorseC lay odd at 3

in this situation if trigger acts I will guarantee profit... closing positions in 2 horses with losses, but with a big profit at HorseC that covers others horse losses and guarantee x profit at the end no matter who wins the race.

So i need that the trigger continous checking lay odds, and checks if at any moment it can guarantee profit...


hope you anderstand.

thank you

no ... in the last situation i gave, the trigger should close positions in 2 horses with small losses, but the profit from the other horse should cover that and guarantee x€.

but there will be situations that 2 horses with small profit and 1 horse with small loss... but still guarantee profit at the end...

and of course there will be situations when lay odds doesn't go down the necessary and I will loose all backs amounts.

hi
the formula that i have worked out, needs a maximum number of runners.
to get a greenup of all the backed selections, the trigger needs to know what selections have matched amounts, so i need a maximum number of runners.
the formula that i have tested works very good, but i have restricted it to 8 runners and 3 selections.
so i need to know is there a maximum number of backed selections and the maximum number of runners in the race that you would place a bet in.
it is no good placing bets in a donkey derby with 20+ runners, you need to be more selective.
