Share values between races

[steveosb]

Hi I’m hoping someone might be able to help with a quick question. I’ve got reasonable knowledge of stored values and using them, but is there any way of sharing values or signals between markets at the same race course on the same day? I’m trying to minimise the impact of delayed races on my automated trading. I’ve currently got a rule which quits my trade and greens or reds up if we go a certain number of minutes past the start time and the event is not in play. What I’d like to do is if this triggers is to set a stored value or signal for the rest of the races at that race course on the same day to prevent another trade at that race course (I’m assuming a lengthy knock on will go through the rest of the card). At this stage I don’t think it can be done , but if anyone has any ideas I’d be very grateful. Cheers.

Saving a stored value at 'event' level can be picked up on markets from the same event. eg win, and place markets of the same horse race.
Saving a stored value at 'bet angel' level can be picked up on any other markets running on the same instance of BA. Even a football match to a greyhound race.

In your example you would need to save a stored value at 'bet angel' level. Perhaps you could save an SV of the racecourse as a text SV at 'bet angel' level. Then any rule could check to see if there are any stored values that match the name of that racecourse. Make sure you have the 'shared' tickbox ticked so the SVs can be shared across other markets.

Many thanks for your help. I can save an extract of the racecourse name as an SV, but can you do a text comparison between SVs to check whether they are the same? Or would a usual check whether the SV is equal to another would work with text?

Yes I think so. Save the same extract as text as an SV from the race you want to check and compare the two.

That's great. Many thanks for your help!
