Imported picks bettings
« on: 11 Mar 2024, 23:33 »
Can you please make me a trigger that will place bets on imported picks following these rules.

When a pick is imported for horse racing

1st. Bet is placed immediately at current available odds. - Stake 5
2nd. Bet is placed if odds reach within 10% range of the imported odds. - Stake 3
3rd. Bet is placed if it reaches the odds that were imported. If it does not reach the odds before the race starts cancel the bet. - Stake 2

Thank you

Hello!

Please see your triggers attached.

For instructions on how to import selections from a text file, please see this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zNhSl5ypn0

All selections, except the ones you will list in the file, must be greyed out after the import.

I am attaching an example of the import file. Inside the file, the horse's name must be enclosed in double quotes, followed by a Tab character and then the reference price you want to compare the selection's back price against.

Use the constants inside the file to adjust the trigger settings. The constant min_st2_odds is used for this condition:

Quote
2nd. Bet is placed if odds reach within 10% range of the imported odds. - Stake 3

Here the "10% range" translates into 100% - 10% = 90% as the value for min_st2_odds. For example, if the import price is 8.0, then the second stake will be placed when the selection's back price is >= 8.0*90%, that is >= 7.2.

Make sure you've tested the triggers in Test Mode before you switch to real money. I recommend testing triggers in Time Machine, as you can run your strategy by multiple markets in minutes, and the data is very cheap. 

If you'd like to make any changes to the original trigger description, please make a new trigger request.

Hello,

For some reason it only bets on 1 imported selection. All others are skipped.

Best regards

Hello!

Judging from the screenshot, only one selection's name was imported successfully.

Check your import file and make sure all the selections' names are spelled correctly, exactly one name per line, and all of them have a Tab character between the name and the imported price.

Hello,

As per image you can see that the 3 correct selections have been identified but for some reason trigger only places bets on 1 of them.

Please attach the log of the trigger called "stake 1" for any of the markets where you had more than one imported selection.

This video shows how to find trigger logs:
