Hi!

I am testing the software find it intriguing but realize that I need to learn more about
programing to be able to do what I want to accomplish. Besides reading the help files is there any more ways to actually learn?
1.First thing I want to do is to put in a condition  that lays only if the price is drifting (increasing in lay price).
So it has to do with diffrent conditions to determine drifting and also steaming trying to determine as best as possible direction of price, any suggestions?

I have experimented with lay price leap equal or less then -1 (minus seems to be drifting hope I am right) so + would be steaming. How does it work with back price leap is minus also drifting and + steaming?

Hi sirgascone and welcome.

Well done for trying to learn and actually reading the help file!!!

You asked a very important question, how to determine whether a horse's price is drifting. You need to formulate the criteria for that with simple words before taking them to the trigger conditions. Once you have a clear idea, I'm sure programming it into the triggers will be a matter of minutes, and we're here ready to help.

So try to just write it down as if you were explaining it to a broker or someone ready to make a bet for you. The "drifting" and "steaming" can represent different concepts for each traded, so come up with your own.

Hi!

Welll I would like to for instance know how I would write the condition
for lay price leap not for one refresh but in seconds between 1-10 seconds.
What would that look like?

Also whats the purpose of the remember function?

Whats the benefit of betting at sp, and can that only be done before the race starts?
Why are only certain races able to support sp betting?

To know how much the price has grown over the specified number of minutes, use this condition:

Selection's Lay Price Dif over {x} mins is ...

If it is negative, it'll mean the price has fallen. 10 seconds are equal to 0.167 mins.

Also whats the purpose of the remember function?
Have you read its description in the manual already? What parts of it would you like me to cover in this topic?

Hi!

When you say price fallen when minus, do you mean steaming or drifting  i
assume you mean from ex 5 to 2 steaming?

Yes, if the price changes from 5 to 2, meaning the difference will be -3, it'll be a steamer.
