How many ticks before entering a trade?

[DODGER_UK]

We all know that it's often better to wait 15 mins or so before a game develops, and for the price to offer more value.

In your opinion - how many ticks from the starting price do you wait for to grab that bit of value?

Hi Dodger -welcome to the forum. I don't think there's a blanket number of ticks that can be applied to each and every market. Every market varies and the relationship between the various components dictates how that market behaves. You don't mention which market you were referring to, but I assume you mean the Match Odds market (or not ). In the case of Match Odds, you have home/away/draw odds to contend with. On field action will move all of those in an orchestrated way that is not easy to predict.

In short, I don't think such a simplistic approach exists -if it does I've missed it

Sorry, I typed it in a rush.

I meant for trading on goals....

E.G.
Over 1.5, Over 2.5, or Over 0.5 FHG for example.

A goal inside the first 15 minutes obviously alters the price negatively for these trades.

If you expect goals - does anybody set a bot to place the stake after so many ticks? 25 ticks for example.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I'm thinking of a systematic automated approach to the goals markets - opening trades, triggered by reaching a certain price, rather than the opening price.

Tbh a flat approach should only generate flat results, I'd say no real edge to be had from it so your edge has to come from elsewhere.

I've got to say - having tried absolutely alsorts, system-wise, you may well be right. I keep trying though!
