Hello! I would like to backtest my strategy and would like to know if its possible with your Time Machine.
So here is the strategy:

Its in the UK Horse market: I place a LAY-bet on the 1st horse whenever the first, the second and the third horse have specific odds.
15 to 5 Minutes before start of race the odds are checked and if they fit the bet is placed.
And One minute before the race starts the placed bet must be hedged.
Please tell me if your time machine is able to backtest this strategy.

Thank you very much and Kind regards

Hi
Yes you can test your strategy using Time Machine.
In case you want to give it a go, I have prepared a trigger file which should work according to your spec.

At a specified number of minutes before the off:
the price of the favourite will be checked against a specified price range
the price of the second favourite will be checked against a second specified price range
the price of the third favourite will be checked against a third specified price range
if all the above conditions are met, a lay bet will be placed on the favourite at the current best lay price
at one minute before the off, the lay bet will be hedged for either green or red.

If you want to try the trigger out, please use it in test mode or in Time Machine.
