ProjectedSp = infinity

[Anbell]

Howdy - I have a new automation that I only want to run if the market has BSP (as a backstop in case my bets aren't matched)

I have been using a condition where I set an SV called ProjectedSP and I have a conditioon where ProjectedSP must be greater than zero.

I've just noticed that if there is no BSP on the marker then ProjectedSP is stored as an SV as "Infinity" (not zero.)

Is it sufficient to have a SV Condition that ProjectedSP is not equal to an entered amount: Infinity?

(i.e. can an SV include text etc etc, or are there other issues why this condition wouldn't work? Is there a better way to achieve this condition?)

Thanks

i would add a less than condition. 1000 might work for your purposes but if not I seem to remember that 1001 worked for me in the past when i encountered this.

Thanks so much.

So BA recognizes that "Infinity" is a number and not a text string?

I can't answer definitively without a test - but I seem to remember that it worked for me when i was playing around with similar things in the past and I encountered this one. And technically if you use >0 and <1001 it might not matter.

Thanks again JukeBox.

Infinity is > 1000, so that probably shouldnt work (unless as a hack/workaround)?

I am aware - that's why I suggested less than 1001 - assuming that you wanted a real price under infinity.

Thanks again for all your help/guidance.

Looks like I'll have to experiment!
