Author Topic: How can I use triggered betting and pre-defined selections simultaneously.  (Read 2977 times)

OK. Let me explain.

This refers to Horse Racing.
I have triggers setup to make selections on various criteria.....no problems there.

But,  I also want to place bets on selections that I have made outside of MF, just like I was using a tipsters selections.

If use the "Import selections for auto-trading"  feature this works well for this purpose, but then does not allow my other triggers to work as it disables all the field except those manually defined in my text file.

I guess what I want to be able to do is to manually create a list that I can refer to in a trigger condition and get it to select only the horse names in the list.
This would allow my other triggers to operate normally.

Any ideas anybody.

Hi
Make the last line of your text file:

#all_active#

this will allow you to import your selection data while at the same time keeping all selections active for auto-trading and triggering.

Thanks for your help, but I'm having trouble with this.

For some reason MF refuses to recognize that my selections names are in the text file I specify. 

Selection'sNameis in fileC:\Users\Dean\Desktop\selections.txt

Thanks

Dean

Hi
I will check it for you. Please could you attach your trigger file and a sample text file.

Dean, if a selection's name contains one or more spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes:

"Runner Name"
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Hi Guys,

I am still having trouble with this.

I have put all names within quotes  eg.  "One More Red"  each on a seperate line.

But the trigger log still shows the following.
Checking condition and Selection's Name is in file C:\Users\Dean\Desktop\EachWay.txt.

I hace attached the txt file and trigger file

Hi
There is an example trigger for Each Way betting here:
http://marketfeeder.co.uk/solutions/bet-favourite/each-way/
rather than trying to correct your trigger, I have adapted the example trigger more or less to your requirement.

I have not included all your conditions so that I could test it, but this should work fine for "selections name is in file". You can add any more conditions that you need.

Basically, the primary filtering conditions are done in the WIN market trigger, and the PLACE market trigger fires a bet on the same selections that were bet in the WIN market.

The formula in the amount fields are for test mode or AUS wallet real mode.

Your selection names in the text file should be enclosed in quotes and spelling must be exactly as Betfair spells them.

Do not use the "Import selections for auto-trading" procedure, which is a separate procedure from "selections name is in file".
Just make your text file, edit the path to the text file in the trigger condition and save the trigger.
Load win and place markets, and run the trigger.

Attached is the trigger and a demo screenshot also showing the text file.

Constants you can adjust are:
mxw - bank multiplier for win stake
mxp - bank multiplier for place stake
min_win_price - minimum price of selection in win market
max_win_price - maximum price of selection in win market
min_place_price
max_place_price

Please use test mode to test the trigger.

I hope this is of help to you. If you require any further work on it, please put your request in here: http://community.welldonesoft.com/make-me-a-trigger!/
