Thank you for your reply Mark,
Perhaps it's the parsing?
The aim of the variable to to monitor market activity. Unlike UK racing we don't get the dynamic indicators like 'behind the barriers' so I am trying to create and equivalent such that some races in AU will be avoided.
The formula I use is mv5 > mv1 + (now_time-refresh_start)/mnt*mktgrowth
mv1 is run once per market
Where mnt = 0.000694 mktgrowth = 2500
In the User Variables window (see Mv1Mv51.jpg not the same race) the results appear to be correct by my manual calculations.
However, as the Mv1Mv5.jpg shows the final = mv1,which suggests my parsing of the formula is not correct.
My calculations says 12512+11346.9 or 23858 but the log shows 12512 (mv1)
