place a lay bet higher than current price
« on: 16 Aug 2014, 10:52 »
Hi,

Is there a condition that will prevent a trigger firing a lay bet higher than its current lay price ?
Here is an example:
Suppose the current lay price is 1.80 I would like to queue up a lay bet at 1.85. As we all know it would be snapped up quicker than a Rembrandt in a hock shop. I know it may sound daft but I want to catch the market as it drifts and then can place a back bet at say 1.90.
Thanks to any genius that can oblige.

Sounds like it is a tricky one !!
Can a remember action be used to record the back price ?
And if the lay price exceeds that by say 20 ticks can a lay bet be triggered ?
example:
Back price  1.80 back 10
the price drifts and the trigger fires.
lay price     2.00 lay 10
Any brainwaves anyone ?
Thanks

I've answered my own question
Simple:
Just add the condition
and selection's Lay Price is equal or greater than r_ticks(bm_backp, 20)
"20" being number of ticks.
 the same r_ticks formula place in the action 'price' section.
Peasy :)
