Help on profit loss for my trigger
« on: 27 May 2014, 20:49 »
Hello - this may have been covered elsewhere so apologies in advance.
I want to stop my trigger betting when it has reached a certain profit target. I can do this it's easy.
My problem is I'm often using a manual strategy of betting on the same triggered markets and I can't split what the trigger is making from what the manual bets are doing in the same market.
Is there any way of achieving this? I mailed betfair and asked for a second account and they told me they don't let people open second accounts any more.

hi
you would have to use variables to record the matched amount and price and selection index, then use the pw_1_sel_index to see if the selection has won, if so you use the variables that recorded the bet amount and price to calculate the profit.

Hi hoodlight, I'm just wondering here if you were able to figure this one out already?
Gambling is a lifestyle.

I've worked on this but not got anywhere. I back two selections from a text file in the trigger
I've no idea where to set the variables up to track the p@l on the triggered bets.
