Hi

I'm trying to set a signal to close a trade when the first goal is scored using the 0-0 CS market (e.g. when its price goes > 100). My rules file is for trading the O2.5 market, so I think I need to nominate the CS market somehow, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks.

You'll be comparing 2 different markets, CS and O2.5 so it's a stored value you need, not a signal.

You'll need to store a value "Goal scored" in the CS market shared with the event that stores when a goal is scored, with conditions something like the price in row 1 (0-0) is >100, market unsuspended for greater than 60 seconds, back book percentage less than 105%. That should trigger after a goal is definitely scored and the unsuspend/back book percentage conditions should prevent VAR issues or the book resettling after a goal.

In your O2.5 market you'll need the condition that a stored value for the event is set to "Goal scored" or whatever you called it initially, as part of your close trade/exit trade.

You can save a stored value to either 'selection', 'market', 'event', or 'bet angel' level.

On the CS market you need to store a value at 'event' level and tick the 'shared box' so the stored value will be accessible in any market applicable to that particular match.

Many thanks. I've not delved into SVs yet, so I've got some homework to do first!
