Market activity checker
« on: 03 Dec 2016, 23:35 »
Aus horse racing doesn't get the market update information for Horse racing like UK - like 'moving in'
I'm trying to fine tune a set of triggers that ensures the event_off is imminent by monitoring the change in market volume.

I have two user variables.
mv1 - Individually for each market; no more often then 1 min, Value =market_volume
mv30s - Individually for each market; no more often then 30 secs, Value =market_volume

Then I test the change in market_volume against a standard. If its higher than activity is ok, if its less, then activity is too low = FALSE.

My problem is the overlap, every 2 sequence, mv1 = mv5.

I have considered a remember trigger using last_traded for all runners.
Any suggestions?

Hi
I understand this as you wanting to measure the change in market_volume over a set number of seconds, repetitively.
I would suggest one user variable:
mv1
value: market_volume
first matching selection
conditions:
selections index is equal to 1
and markets minutes before the off is between -5 and 5
and markets status is idle
execute: no more often than <your time period>

then simply use market_volume-mv1 to get the volume increase per time period, and run your test against this?
