help with my trigger

Hi,
I have set a trigger up, and its based on using a liability % stake, so, if I use say a 5% liability of a £250 bank, this is £12.50 risk or liability, and the stake is £12.50 / (lay_price - 1) - or
(bank_size * perc_bet) / (lay_price - 1)

Now, there is no way to have a virtual bank size, so I have had to use a variable in my constants, which today I set at £250. By the end of the day, I had made £16.79, so my new size is £266.79

I would like some help on having MFP calculate the stake based on the current HIGHEST bank, and if there is a loss, I want it still to stake calculated on the highest bank. I also want MFP to remember across sessions, the highest bank achieved, and somehow update that value somewhere?

I don't really want to ask for a trigger as I won't learn by doing that, I would rather get some help/advice

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Mark.

Hi
Need to run the search from forum home page to see all results.

as mcbee says he probably has an updated version of this.

Hi,

I use a current_bet variable. The variable increases when the bank increases, but does not decrease when I have a loss, unless I want it to under certain circumstances.

Firstly, the current_bet is initialised as a fraction of the actual balance eg 1/80th, either once time only or once per session. When a race settles and I have a win, my variable trigger acts on that settled market (and before the betting trigger in the next market) and increases the current_bet figure according to instructions.

I imagine tying the curent_bet to an overall highest balance achieved balance would not be insurmountable by any means.
