[TR] Help with existing trigger

Hi,

mcbee has helped me with attached trigger. Appreciate if you can help me to add the following things to it:

* Constant where I can adjust the back book % (that a market must have to qualify)
* Constant where I can adjust the matched volume (that a market must have to qualify)

* Condition where I can adjust the spread between back price and lay price before the trigger makes a bet (deafult maximum 5 ticks)
* Write to action log what the spread between back price and lay price were when the bet was executed (preferably have this as last thing of all the information I send to the action log)

And a question: the recorded "back book %" that the trigger writes to the action log today is averaging at approx 70%, how can this be - shouldn't it be >100%?

Grateful for any help in this, thank you

hi
i will start working on your trigger.

this is set to the selections back book%.
do you want the market back book%.

mcbee

Ah, sry new at this so I've misunderstod. Yes, appreciate if you can change it to the market's back book instead (so both add a constant that's the market's back book and change the trigger so the action log writes the market's back book instead of the selection's).

Thanks

hi
here is your trigger
there are 3 new constants to set
Maximum market back book percent
Minimum market matched volume
Maximum tick difference between the back and lay price

the market back book% has replaced the selections back book%
the last new addition to the log is the tick difference.

please use test mode until you are happy with your settings

Thanks but now the trigger does not fire at all. Tried it yesterday on a lot of matches but no bet was made, also increased the “max market book %” to 150% just to check but still no bets made (also been trying it this morning but the same – no bets).

Any idea why it’s not placing any bets (the earlier version of the trigger placed bets so that worked)?

Cheers,
David

hi
just retested the trigger and it works if all the conditions are met.
try altering your tick difference from 5 to 50, then decrease when you have checked the recorded difference, many times the tick difference is lots.

hi mcbee,

Thanks for the help, you were right and now it works. At least in 98% of the time, I have seen rare cases were the trigger fires on the second goal (only happened once so far) and in another case it placed the bet in minute 33 although the goal was score in minute 12. As I said, this is very rare - in most cases it places the bet when it should so no big deal - but if you have any ideas how to possible fix the 2% - let me know (otherwise I'm satisfied anyway).

hi
the betting trigger has the condition
and market_score1+markat_score2 is equal to 1
so it should not place a bet unless the score showing by betfair is equal to 1.
i have a trigger for over/under 0.5 and many times the score shows 0-0 but the winner showing is over 0.5, so betfair is the problem.

i have been developing a method to add any information direct to an excel spreadsheet, so if it would save you time , when you have another free trigger request and want to automate all the info to your spreadsheet, request a new trigger and include both the trigger and your spreadsheet with the headings that you want the values put.

mcbee

Ok, thanks for the info.

I definitely want to automate it to excel - will post a new trigger request for this within the hour, good stuff.
