Hi mcbee,
I've picked up the latest trigger file you posted today. Thanks for that.
I have some questions for you that I've thought of after doing some testing this afternoon. I will use examples with numbers as it seems easier to explain this way.
Ok, so, firstly, I've noticed that when the green-up/distribute the loss bets and the default back/lay bets are placed they are done so separately. Could these 2 bets be combined into 1? (where possible - i.e. when the price has gone against me), or, can they be placed at the same time?
Example:- First bet is placed - Lay £5 (default amount set) @ 4.90. Price turns against me so distribute the loss bet (which will be a back bet) is placed @ 4.7 (for example as I've set the tl and tp to 2 ticks), then (as price is now steaming) another back bet is placed for £5 (default back amount) at the same price as the distribute the loss bet (4.7)? Can these bets be combined into 1 bet? If not, can they be done at the same time?
Secondly, where the price is going in the same direction, can the back and lay bets be placed at the same time?
Example:- First bet is placed - Lay £5 (default amount set) @ 4.90. Price continues to drift so green up (which will be a back bet) at @ 5.1 (for example as I've set the tl and tp to 2 ticks), then (as price is still drifting) another lay bet is placed for default lay amount at the same price as the green-up bet (5.1)? Can these bets be placed at the same time?
Thirdly, (this leads on from my first two questions and only needs to be done if the first two questions cannot be completed) I've noticed that, after either the green-up or the distribute the loss bet has been placed, if the price has changed, by 1 or more ticks, then the new back or lay bet never gets filled (unless the prices comes back again). It seems to be that this bet is placed over and over and over at the same price as the last green-up or the distribute the loss bet. Could this bet be placed at the current best back/lay price so if it is not matched and then subsequently cancelled there's a better chance it will be filled next time round?
Example:- First bet is placed - Lay £5 (default amount set) @ 4.90. Price turns against me so distribute the loss bet (which will be a back bet) is placed @ 4.7 (for example as I've set the tl and tp to 2 ticks), then (as price is now steaming) another back bet is placed for £5 (default back amount), but, the best back price available is now 4.6, therefore the 4.7 bet is not matched. Can the next back bet (after the latest one has been cancelled) be placed at the best available price (which by now could be 4.4) instead of 4.7?
I hope that all makes sense, if not please let me know and I'll try again to explain.
Thanks,
