  • 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,

    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.
