In-play, horse racing triggers
« on: 13 May 2013, 07:52 »
Hi guys,

I have registered for a trial of your software to see if I can automate my trading method. I wonder if you could tell me if the following questions can be answered with your software:

What is the distance of the race, e.g. 2 miles, 6 furlongs, 1 mile 2 furlongs, etc?
How many places are being paid?
During in-play, how long since the market went in-play?
During in-play, how many runners are trading below a certain price, e.g. 20.0

Thanks in advance for your help.

All the best,

Mark

P.S. I have now seen the "market length" variable so I will convert this from metres to miles/furlongs.

So, I will create a variable called "wait" which will be the in-play time to wait before trading the market. Which variable is the current time in play please, and is it seconds or minutes?

How would I set the variable "wait" based on the time in play and how would I compare it to the in-play time? I think I understand the basic processes but I'm not sure how to structure the code, e.g. subroutines, header code, etc.

Thanks,

Mark

One final question for now. I will be trading the place market but the information I need will be from the win market. Can I access both markets for each selection?

Thanks,

Mark

One of the additions I would like to make is to place lay bets on the place market at 1.21 and 1.11 once the initial place bet is matched.

Also, how do you bet a percentage of bank using the main settings? I can find a default back stake but not %age.

Thanks again,

Mark

Thanks for this. Is there a trigger file already created for this strategy or is there someone who could write it for me? I think the programming skills may be too advanced for me.

Best regards,

Mark
