Race Status
« on: 11 Nov 2020, 13:19 »
If my trigger has a condition such as Race Status "Approaching" but the race is in a market (eg Australia) where no Race Status is given, will my trigger be activated as though it doesn't matter about Race Status...or will my trigger not be activated at all because there is no Race Status info provided ?

I believe the condition will return false in Aus racing.  I seem to remember I included it for a day's test on the Aus horseraces and no selections were bet.

Your trigger will not be activated because the condition will not be met. To ignore it, add the following block of conditions instead:

AND
  Market's Race Status is Approaching
  or Selection's Trigger Expression race_status is equal to -1
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Thks, rubold and Oxa.

I'll use Oxa's "trick" condition to overcome the often very long delays in start times in events that do give Race Status.

Much obliged.
