Trigger error?!

Hi,

Sometimes the triggers are not working correctly. I have seen it a few times before, but not reported it before now.

Account statement
BAGS cards / Swin 7th Oct/ 17:38 A8 480m - UK   60.21

Trigger log
17:36:00   Greyhound - Todays Card / 17:37 Swin: Inappropriate market status (Idle).
17:38:41   Checking market "Greyhound - Todays Card / 17:37 Swin".
17:38:41   Checking condition and Market's Settled P/L is greater than 0.
17:38:41   Condition is: FALSE.
17:38:41   Remaining conditions in the block will not be checked.
P/L not greater than 0?

Perfect!

But why is the first two triggers failing?

Hi
This looks to be a timing issue with regards to market settlement.
It is difficult to tell without the trigger, but I would say you need to add the following condition:
and markets status is settled
to the trigger which contains this condition:
and markets settled P/L is greater than 0

The trigger have "Market status: Settled". Do I also need to add it as an condition?

My refresh rate is 2 sec. Is it to low maybe?

Thanks.

I think it is a good idea to put the condition in, because then you will have a timestamp in the log to see when the market status changes to settled.

2 sec refresh rate should be OK, but I don't know what the trigger does.

Try the condition, and if it is still a problem could you please post your trigger file and I will test it.

I have tried to add it as a condition also.

So now it is both on Market state: Settled and added as condition Market's status is settled.

I also tried to disable auto-removing of finished markets. I had an idea that it maybe was removed before the trigger was activated?

I will get back with the result.

Thanks.

I think you have it.
