consecutive losses

Hi,
How do i express "and last triggered races lost x amount of times" please.

Hi, the way I do it is to have a 'set user variable trigger' which has the conditions: markets settled p/l is less 0,

for example:

set user variable,
name = myloses

then put value myloses + 1 globally

so everytime a market loses you money, the myloses variable will add up.

You would then need to set another trigger to act on the myloses variable when it reaches a certain number.

Hi
you could use the win/lose variable; losses
"The number of your losses since the last win. If you won 2 events, then lost 4 events in a row, this variable will return 4. If you lost 3 events then won, this variable will return 0."

and selections trigger expression losses is equal or greater than x
 

I usually do this the way baronsamedi has described it, i.e. I keep the loss counter.

My thanks to you all!

Hi,
Further to this, can i use a formula as a value, if mylosses = x, then multiplier 1, if mylosses = y, then multiplier 2,
and a reset to init_bet
Thanks

Yes, e.g.:

IF(mylosses=1, multiplier1, IF(mylosses=2, multiplier2, init_bet))

See the IF function in Excel, it works the same way.

Thank you, OXA.

Hi again,
Oxa, the example you've shown works perfectly, however, when i try to add multiplier3, multiplier4, etc, i get "error in trigger expression price or amount". Why is that?

can u post your formula?

IF(mylosses=3, multiplier1, IF(mylosses=6, multiplier2, If(mylosses=9, multiplier3, IF(mylosses=12, multiplier4, init_bet))

ok the formula looks right but you need an extra 2 closing brackets as you now have 4 open ones:

IF(mylosses=3, multiplier1, IF(mylosses=6, multiplier2, If(mylosses=9, multiplier3, IF(mylosses=12, multiplier4, init_bet))))


every time you add the if(  you also need )  at the end

Brilliant. Thanks.
