Help - (now_time-timer)/mf_second

Hello,

I have a trigger, for horse racing, that I want to fire after 5 seconds if the conditions are met. This is what I have:

set user variable
Name timer Value now_time Individually per selection

In the conditions section I have this among others:

" and Selections Trigger Expression (now_time-timer)/mf_second is greater than waiting_time" (waiting_time is a constant that I have - 5 sec.)

How can I confirm that the trigger will fire after this 5 seconds (waiting_time) that I have? Is there a some kind of counter that allow us to see those time? Because I think the trigger fires before to reach those 5 sec.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Hi
waiting_time constant should be a positive number, from your post it looks like - 5 (negative)?

to see the timer working put (now_time-timer)/mf_second in an Engineer Mode cell.

Thanks MarkV... It´s not negative. It was just to break apart.

Hello again... I managed to put in the Engineer Mode cell that timer working... All fine, but it´s not what I want. I mean, I have a condition that if a horse goes under ou over a certain odd the timer begins to count, but if the odd reverse the timer doesn´t stop. It continuos counting.

I need that if the odds reverse, the timer begins again.... Is it possibleto do this?

Hi
Different kind of timer / counter. Please see attached screenshot.

Market refresh rate 1 second. Put user variable dc in engineer mode to see it.
The trigger counts seconds all the time price is below 2.00.
If price rises above 2.00 variable dc resets to 0
Betting trigger condition: dc is greater than x

You can make a similar trigger for an upwards counter

Thanks MarkV. But the example you show is exactly the opposite that I want. Maybe I didn't explain myself very well....

When the odd rises above @2.0 the counter will start and if the odd remains more than x seconds above @2.0, it will fire the trigger.

Then if the odd goes back below @2.0, after the bet was matched, it will start a new counter and make a stoploss if the odd belows under @2.0 more than x seconds.

I hope you can understand (sorry my bad English).....

In your answer I have 2 doubts.

One is to put dc variable in engineer mode. I write dc in that field and when it starts to count appears to me dc+1, dc+4, dc+6, etc.... Is that what is supposed to show up?

The other one is "Betting trigger condition: dc is greater than x".... Can you show me an example?

I think what is missing is a few details, that´s why I´m asking help here and not in the section "Make me a trigger"..... Maybe is better to ask to someone make this trigger.... Or you can help here?

Hi
Please see attached screenshots:

Engineer mode column 1 is number of seconds above price 2.00 user variable uc
Engineer mode column 2 is number of seconds below price 2.00 user variable dc

and Counters triggers.

in the downwards counter trigger you can add a condition for matched lay bet:
and selections lay matched is greater than 0
this is for your stoploss

if you are betting above 2.00 condition for betting trigger is:
and selections trigger expression uc is greater than x

stoploss below 2.00 condition is:
and selections trigger expression dc is greater than x

yes, if you want a trigger written for you then it would be a trigger request in make me a trigger.

hope this helps

Thank you MarkV.... I managed to put this trigger working like I wanted.... Well, not perfect.... Now I need to make the right adjustments to put this trigger making money......

Can you enlighten me why the market refresh rate must be in 1 sec.?

Another doubt is when you are triyng new methods in the Timemachine..... Is there some difference in the bets if we test them in normal speed or in fast speed?

Thanks

Hi
Refresh rate of 1 sec or less for the "no more often than 1 sec" repeating triggers to be accurate, but you can experiment with refresh rates and see if it does what you want.
