lay amount per tick and moving average help

Hi could you help me with the correct formula for a lay amount which would return a one pound profit per tick before greening and also how I can formulate lt_ma so it returns whether the moving average is increasing or decreasing over a set amount of time rather than a single figure at one point in time .
Kind regards and thanks in advance.

r_ticks(price1,price2)
The above will give you number of ticks between two prices.
Then divide the result by lay_price-1 to give you your fixed liability.

There are a number of options to use for the lt_ma. Read this in the manual

pdif_[minutes]
The absolute back price difference over the time specified by [minutes]. For
example, pdif_5 will return the value that back price changed by within the
last 5 minutes. This number can be negative or positive, depending on the
direction the price changed in. For example, if the price changed from 4.0 to
3.8, the difference will be -0.2.

lpdif_[minutes]
The absolute lay price difference over the time specified by [minutes]. For
example, lpdif_2.5 will return the value that lay price changed by within the
last 2.5 minutes. This number can be negative or positive, depending on the
direction the price changed in.

tdif_[minutes] he change of the back price over the time specified, in price ticks. For example, if the price has changed from 3.0 to 3.65 within 4 minutes, then
tdif_4 will return 13.

ltdif_[minutes]
 The change of the lay price over the time specified, in price ticks. For example, if the price has changed from 6.0 to 5.1 within 11.5 minutes, then
tdif_11.5 will return -9.

Hi Guys, I was interested in the answer to this post but I am not sure it has answered it unless I am missing something. My understanding is that lt_ma takes the average traded price over a given period of time dictated by the market depth settings.

I think the question here: is there a way of determining whether or not lt_ma is rising or falling on a rolling basis.

Eg:

if lt_ma (5 seconds ago) is 10 and lt_ma (now) is 12, lt_ma is rising

Apologies if the response above answered the question but I can't decipher how.

Thanks,

I think you need the last traded price trend variable lt_trend. It will take values from -1 to 1 depending on which direction and how steep the price movement is.

See the manual's chapter The User Interface - Trader's Area - Chart Editor.

Thanks Oxa, was looking in the triggered betting and didn't see it in there and I didn't think to look elsewhere if I am honest.
