Need help with accumulator

Hi All
Have been a user of X-Feeder but I'm not that good with Market Feeder 8, I am learning slowly. Can anyone set me up a basic trigger that will do an accumulator.
All I want to do is bet £1 on the first fav in horse racing then put the return on to the next fav and so on till I get 5 in a row. If it looses then start with £1 again and re-set when I get 5 in a row. I am sure its fairly easy but I cannot get it to put the stake and winnings on to the next bet.

hi
this is a good plan for what you want.

but if you want a basic accumulator then put this in the amount box
IF(AND(wins>0,wins<=5),total_won,1)

change the 1 to whatever stake you want to start with

Hi Mcbee
Is that all I need? Do I then just select the races I want to do and put that 1 line in the trigger.

Wow, mcbee is incredibly fast to help as always!

mcscomuk, you can do as mcbee suggested, it is a quick setup of what you need.

However I noticed we have a "Lay accumulator staking plan" example on our web site, but the same plan for backing is missing for some reason. So this sounds like the right time for adding that example. Will post here later when it's ready.

Yes I did look for one. Look forward to trying it. Many Thanks all.

hi mcscomuk
all you do is a basic back the fav trigger and then copy and paste the formula into the amount box .

Back accumulator staking plan

As always, do try all your triggers in Test Mode prior to betting with real money!

Hi All

Sorry but neither the Back accumulator staking plan or Mcbee’s formula actually do an accumulator bet.
Example.
All odds a 3

First bet £1 return will be £3
Next bet is £3 and return will be £9
Next bet is £9 and return will be £27
Next bet is £27 and return will be £81
Next bet is £81 and return will be £243

Then reset back to £1 after a loss. So we either win £243 or loose £1 in the example sequence.

The suggestions that have been given do not account for the stake being reinvested. Any idea’s

You need a slightly different accumulation method, simpler than the one in the example. It's fairly easy to adjust the existing example to your needs, see the file attached.

Sorry still does not look right. First bet will be init_stake so £5
Next bet should be £15 but it will be last_pl and that is £10
Or am i reading it wrong?

The current_stake is set to last_pl whenever a market with positive P/L is settled.

After first winner at 3 the next bet should be £15. If the next bet is current_stake and it has been set to last_pl the profit on the first bet would be £10 so would the next bet be £10? How does it get to £15

You never said you want the next bet to be the previous one times 3. Please specify exactly how the next bet should be calculated compared to the previous one. Your example obviously is not explicit.

Hi, Sorry I was trying. This is backing the Fav so the odds will be different each time.
Odds of 3 was just an example. An accumulator should add the stake and profit to the next bet and keep doing so till you stop.
If the odds are all 3 then it should go like this..

First bet £1 return will be £3
Next bet is £3 and return will be £9
Next bet is £9 and return will be £27
Next bet is £27 and return will be £81
Next bet is £81 and return will be £243

As the odds will be different i cannot give exact bets but it needs the stake to accumulate as well as the profit. Thanks for trying

hi
this should use the last stake plus the total amount won.
IF(AND(wins>0,wins<=5),(hist_1_backa+total_won),1)
