I'm trying to increase or reset stakes based on what my highest recorded balance is. So if I start with £200 at £1 stakes. If my new balance after a bet is higher than the highest recorded balance then my stake will reset to £1. If my balance is decreasing, the stake is increased by £1 and then reset when the new balance is higher than the recorded balance.
I've managed to set it up so that it records the highest balance when I start the program (either current balance or a manual balance adjustment which I can enter in case the program resets) and I can record the highest balance after a win by using the initial balance amount and IF(current balance>highest balance, current balance, highest balance) but the problem comes after this because I need it to keep taking the new highest balance but not sure how to do this without making tons of variables for highest balance (max_bal1, max_bal2, max_bal3... so on) and then a long winded IF statement for increasing the stake. Any ideas on how I can record the highest balance and then if the highest balance is greater than the previous highest balance, stake = £1, if not then stake = previous stake + £1?? Below is a table of bets of what I'm looking to achieve. Cheers.
