Liquidity Condition
« on: 08 Jan 2013, 14:37 »
Hi all,

Can I ask what people consider to be a reasonable condition to use to ensure a bet is being placed at a price near to optimum market value? (Note - the majority of my trading is in in-play tennis markets).

Currently I have set a condition for the lay book to be above c99% and the back book below c101% which does work in theory. However this could cause an issue if one of the selections does not have a competitive price or even if it has no available price at all.

Is the back/lay book %ages the correct condition to use or does anyone else have any better suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
Dan

Hi
You could also confirm the gap between back and lay prices is minimal:
and selection's trigger expression g_ticks(back_price,lay_price) is less than x ticks

back book % or lay book %

For me the greyhound market is not formed until the back book is less than 107%
