triggering events in order of start time
« on: 01 Nov 2013, 15:01 »
Hi,

I'm very new to triggering, but what I want to do is create a trigger which will -

1) Take a number of markets (Say Over 2.5 Goals) starting at different times
2) Select the first event that will run/in play and check the odds.
3) If over a value, back the market, if not wait until it is at this value
4) When resulted, pick the next event that will run or is in play and bet the winnings from the previous selection.
5) Repeat until all selections have been settled.

I've got everything except being able to pick the first event in the market list - I get random events from my list that meet the odd's criteria.

I've used the back-accumulator-stacking-plan trigger template and modified it a little to get where I am now.

I'm sure I'm one step away from this working, but can't work it out!

Hi
To choose the first market in the list chronologically:
In My Markets window click sort by date and time button (any new markets added will be correctly sorted)
add this condition to your backing trigger:
and selections trigger expression market_index is equal to 1

But, the trigger you are using requires settled markets to be present, so you cannot delete settled markets, therefore I don't think the above will work.

Because you are working with football markets there will be many markets which overlap, for example:
20 markets starting at 1500
but you will only be triggering in one of the 20
that market will be settled around 1655
so the next market for the trigger will be a game starting at 1700
 
You could also try this:

Sort the markets by date and time
add this condition to the backing trigger:
and markets minutes since the off is greater than x

x being the time since the start of the game that you want your trigger to activate
