Volume Traded Rule

[Mobay7]

Hi,

I am looking to build a rule in Guardian.
Something like for every 10,000 traded on a selection, i will place a lay bet of X. I think i have built that rule successfully. However i want the rule to be recurring in 10k increments, so buy the time 100k is traded for example, i have placed 10 lay bets. Looking to do this across any selection in market and mainly in ante post markets.

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm not really a Guardian user much but could you create a stored value that's vol/10,000 and condition your bets on #bets placed (ie #matched + #unmatched) < that stored value? I'm not sure how Guardian would handle the non integer result though. Might work.

You could set up a rule with 10 lines of code. Each line would have a £10 lay bet but would have a different volume condition to trigger. The first would have £10,000 volume traded, the second £20,000 etc etc. Hope this helps.

10? He'll need 100 doing it that way if he wants to cover markets up to £1m. I think my solution was 1 or maybe 2 lines wasn't it, and works for any vol from 10k to infinity

All he has to do is IF #Bets < INT(Vol/10,000) then bet. With a suggestion to put INT(Vol/10,000) in a stored value to keep it simple.

All academic though, don't think he's read the reply to his question anyway.

I'm sure there'll be other ways to do it.

I've suggested 10 lines of code because the original question wanted to go up in volume increments of 10,000 up to 100,000.

Thanks Shaun/Zippus,

Have definitely read the suggestions. I just need to upskill myself a little to work out how to implement Shaun's suggestion which obviously has the benefits of greater scale.

Many Thanks
