Hi all,
As per the subject, I am looking to have my trigger start executing only when the final part of the race comes before horses go in-play...
I can see from the manual that we have
3 - Going Down
4 - At The Post
5 - Going Behind
6 - Under Orders
7 - Off
Can I assume that race_status = 6 (Under Orders) is the final stage before in-play?
I want to set my Lay at SP at this latest time, as I have conditions, and this seems the appropriate time to set my trigger in motion. I appreciate there is probably a lot of violent price fluctuation at this time, but, hopefully less at this final part?
So I can use "and Market's Race Status is Under Orders"
I am sure there is usually at least a couple of seconds before they go in play, once they are 'Under Orders', which, I assume will be plenty to get a trigger fired and place a bet if the conditions are met.
OR, am I being ambitious due to a smaller time delay, between Under Orders and In-Play?
One of the reasons I am asking this is because I did, at one point, have a lay at SP bet placed, and the race time, for whatever reason, was extended quite a few minutes past the scheduled start time, and whilst my bet was placed 0.1 minutes before the off, one of the runners pulled out, and my bet liability changed, with the consequent stake being lower, due to the reduction factor. This isn't my only reason, as I would like to do it at the last moments before in-play anyway.
And finally, a happy new year, and hopefully a prosperous new year to ALL!
Thanks
Mark.
