Tracking individual bets
« on: 13 May 2013, 20:07 »
Hi,

Is it possible to identify individual lay requests/bets in-play? For example, if someone places a large lay bet on the place market can it be flagged by MF using triggers?

Thanks,

Mark

I guess this could also be expressed by a large spike in the market volume on the lay side. Could this be monitored also?

Best regards,

Mark

hi
you would use a variable to record the lay_amount, with a condition that if the lay_amount was greater than the variable then record the lay_amount else keep the variable amount.

Great, so my requirement is as follows:

If a lay bet appears in the market with an amount of greater than 'x' and a price of less than 'y', then place a lay bet of 'xx' using the same price + 10 ticks.

Is this possible?

Cheers,

Mark

hi
you would need to open the trigger editor by pressing the Triggers at the top center of the bot screen.
or use the trigger editor direct from the marketfeefer pro folder in your Start menu at the bottom left of your computer screen (in all programs).
then when opened
press New File
press Add Block
press Add Trigger
you will now have a trigger for lay betting (you can alter this to backing or any other by pressing the fawn coloured lay)
press where it says No conditions
press Add condition
press where it says   Back Price
scroll down until you see   Lay Amount  , then press Lay Amount
press where it says         is equal to    , then select       is greater than
press where there are 3 dots  ,  then type the amount you want , then OK
now do the same for you other conditions
then press save conditions
the bet of xx , you put in the amount box of the trigger
the same price +10 ticks you put in the price box of the trigger like this
r_ticks( (your set price),10)
like this   r_ticks(5,10)   = price of 5 plus 10 ticks (you can have -10 for 10 ticks less)
then press Save As
type the name and choose a location to save the trigger
