No function - "traded_avg_price"
« on: 16 Aug 2021, 04:15 »
Hello,

I have this trigger attached but it won´t work and don´t know why.

The trigger is to fire a lay bet:

-If is In-Play;
-If the market length is 1m;
-If is between 30s and 1m10s (aprox.);
-If the Starting price is between @4.00 and @8.00;
-If in the last 5s;
-And if the traded average price of the last greater than 10

I saw the log and it won´t fire because it says that is not greater than 10. When is not true because I tried several times in different 1m markets and the trigger stoped in this condition...

I don´t know what is missing here. Can you guide me?

I attached the trigger for you to see.

The last condition is wrong.

-And if the traded average price of the last is greater than 10....


Sorry about that....

Hi
I tested your trigger by widening some of the parameters. The trigger works fine.
I don't think traded_avg_price moves very much during in-play because it is the average price of all money traded on the selection since the market opened on Betfair. In-play volume is very small compared to the total volume.
Please see attached screenshot of a race just finished. In engineering mode first column is actual_sp, second column is traded_avg_price. I think this is the reason your trigger does not fire.

Thanks MarkV. I see what you mean. I didn´t realized that that function was based in all volume since the market opened in the Betfair. Now I see why it doesn´t move much.

So for example, an horse have @10.55 SP and during the race the odd moves up an down, like every horse. If the the odds (back and lay) down to @7.5 to back and @8.0 to lay, how can I calculate this down size compared to SP? Because, by my understanding, the odds can move without being matching money.

Example: SP @10.55

Lay        /    Back

@10.00  /    @11.00
@10.50  /    @12.00
@9.80   /    @10.50
@9.60   /    @10.00
@9.00   /    @9.60

etc.

Is it possible to calculate these average prices offered in live and for a certain time?

Thanks for your attention.

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
