I'm beginning to get stuck into Horse Racing as the only one in my arsenal i am not good at.
would it be possible to create a rule for a stop loss that incorporates the following:-
The Bot will red out if

Profit is -£20 and has been for 10 seconds (can already do)
the selection is now the favourite
the race distance is over 50% using the race meter and not TPD.


i am struggling for the race distance part of the rule and wonder should i get a TPD subscription instead
to make it easier but seeing as i am so tight, i don't really want to do that.
Any ideas how i progress this.

Thanks

Without a TPD subscription you'd need a rule with each race distance in it and the approx. time it would take to cover 50%
The race meter in BA uses a set of Standard times (an average), those times are not available to download or use but there are plenty of Standard times data sheets out there which you could use and they won't be that far off

There is a standard times sheet that I use in my rules in the 2nd post of this thread

And here is an example here you could easily adapt that already has the standard times put into rules

Speculate to accumulate ,Tom, doubt a tenner a week is going to break your bank. Soon know after a month if it's worthwhile. Otherwise just write some VBA to match up the distances with average race times for those distances at the course

I find it hard to think a man of your calibre would even think about taking a crap in-running price just to try and smooth your varience. Just stake smaller and let your value bets run rather than this stake too big "trading" nonsense that forces you to piss money trying to stop losses.

Here's the file, stolen and amended from a thread already posted on here somewhere.

You need to amend the last rule to browse to a relevant .wav file for the sound alert.
