I'm not sure what I need
« on: 25 Mar 2017, 09:49 »
Hi all

As the title says I'm not sure what I need as I am new to this forum! and not wanting to do this wrong at my first attempt I'm going to explain what I have done so far, and what I am struggling to understand! but I'm not going to ask for help until I know if I need basic forum advice, or a trigger help request

So here goes

I have downloaded the universal sequence staking plan, but I don't want to use so many steps and I want to start each day from the previous bet amount, I think I can see what needs changing but I'm not sure I understand how

And I have created the strategy trigger (from information posted on this forum) which I know works as a trigger due to a test run, but after realising my newbie mistake of not adding conditions to the trigger I have added them (I'm going to test run them today) but I'm not sure if I needed to add one of them or if it even makes sense

So I have the trigger already but am struggling to understand some settings and coding, and that's why I don't know if I need a trigger development request or just some basic forum help

So if somebody would kindly point me in the right direction I would be most thankfull

Hello and welcome to the forum!

You do sound like you need to have your triggers tweaked in a special way, so this does qualify for a trigger request.

If you want some basic advice with the settings etc., you can ask for it here, but then please be more specific.

For example, to start from the previous day, you would need to change the settings of certain variables (typically the ones that store the current loss or current bet size) from "Start with initial value" to "Remember last value".
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Thanks for the reply Oxa

I think what I am going to do is request the trigger to be built for me, then I can compare what I get to what I have and see how close I got

I really don't think I'm far off, but I expected a couple of bets on yesterdays racing and at least one today, but the trigger failed to place any bets during the test, if I can see where I went wrong maybe I'll have more luck next time, after all the point of buying the software should really be to learn to use the software, and I have a couple more strategies I would like to automate

Ok through sheer determination I seem to have got this working!

One problem remains however, I have my unit size set to 5 to start the staking plan so I was expecting my first bet to be £5, however when the trigger fires for the first time I get a message "going to lay £2 @ whatever"

I only have the notifications on so I could see what's happening, and know to turn them off when the trigger is running on it's own, I'm not sure if the issue I have is a trigger or settings issue, so I'm not sure if I need a condition at the "initialising current bet" point or if something in the main settings is wrong

I have attached the part of the trigger I am not sure of if somebody could have a look please
