Markets with identical start times
« on: 14 Apr 2015, 15:31 »
Hiya all
I have a system running on MF betting on consecutive horse races.
Some days there are occasions when there are 2 races with the same start time.
Is there any way to get MF to favour one market over another (i.e UK races take preference) and bet on that market only?
Currently it is placing bets on both markets at the same time which is really messing up my staking plans?

Hi wehey,

That's a tricky question. I've only been able to come up with a half-solution. That is, the triggers will check the start time of each market and delete the ones that have identical start time with at least one other market. However, they don't give preferences, just blindly delete them leaving only one starting at that time.

Not sure if it'll help, try the attached file. Add the constants and two triggers to your own block of triggers. I assume that you start refreshing markets at X minutes before the start (i.e. not all at once).
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Thanks Oxa, I will take a look at the attached trigger.
I am sure it will be fine as it doesn't really matter which market is deleted :)
Thanks again
