My first trigger, advice needed

I have started with a simple trigger adapted from one of the examples.

To start I restrict the trigger to horse races from Australia, win markets.

It is designed to back and lay any selections from a text file, sels_rb.txt, based on a price associated with each selection.
This file has a list of runners each with a rated price, in the correct format.

Lay: With 5 minutes to go, if the available lay price is less than or equal to 10.00 and the lay price is less than or equal to my rated price less 33%.

Back: If there is at least 30000 matched volume and back price available is more than 33% above my rated price.

Outcome: Lay bets are made as expected but none of the expected Back bets are made.

I have attached my trigger so far and would like any advice as to why back bets are not being made.

Try putting brackets "" around the imported term in your backing trigger, in a similar way to what you done in the laying trigger.

Thanks for your input LarpHager!

On today's card of about 30 races I tried your suggestion but no improvement. One or more Lay bets were triggered as expected on most races but no Back bets were triggered even though quite a few were expected.

There must be something wrong in the trigger logic but what?

I relaxed the Back trigger settings a little to make a back bet even more likely but in vain.

Tomorrow I will adjust settings to try and force some Back bets!

Hi
In your backing trigger, this condition:
and selections back price is equal or greater than import_1*frac_overs
should be:
and selections back price is equal or greater than imported_1*frac_overs

OMG!

Mark you are eagle-eyed, "well done", I had missed this despite many checks.

Much appreciated, and I owe you a six-pack of cyber beer, "imported", cough!
