Market liquidity - Is this possible?
« on: 07 Aug 2014, 20:50 »
In betfair, is it possible to know how much money were available at that odd at the time that my bet was matched?

I ask this, because I let my trigger run and I'm not following every bets he's making.

So is it possible to see that, or it there any write to action log I can implement?

Try this..

back_volume
 
 The sum of the three amounts offered at the best back prices. If you turn the option Retrieve all price offers on, then this variable will return the sum of all the amounts that are offered for the selection on the back side.

Hey londolozi, thanks for the reply.

Any idea on how I can get it to show only the value for the odd the bet was matched on. Or at least a way to show the three values separated?

So I got some ideas going, don't know if they will go anywhere....

IDEA #1
traded_bm_backp

But this will show the total amount of that odd. And not only the amount that was available when my bet was matched, right?

IDEA #2
match_1_back_amount

I completely blanked lool I don't know where I was going with that I just vanished from my mind. Bah... It's almost midnight here, I'm tired and need some sleep.

You are all free to throw a light in this matter.

Hi
The variables are back_amount, back_amount2, back_amount3.

Add a second action to your betting trigger:
write to action log
text: [back_amount]

this will record the amount available at the best back price at the moment the betting trigger executes.

it's lay_amount for the best lay price amount available.
