Unsuspended market condition

[FrankArch]

Hi,

I was wondering how long people set the unsuspened market condition when automating football bets. I am using 60 seconds but still get the occasional bad trigger that wipes out profit. Should I use longer or should 60 secs be sufficient?

You're basically looking for a fully formed market so check the overround, spreads, and/or available volumes. Time almost doesn't matter.

Hi Shaun,

Thanks very nuch for the reply. I'm trying to create a leave alone automation but I guess its just not safe. I'm not aware of a way of checking the overound as a condition. Is there a way?

.

Store values with the back and lay book percentages then apply comparison conditions.

GREAT.Thanks for reply Rostov. I shall try and get my head around that today.

Waiting 90s after the goal detect and testing for a spread of less than 10 ticks works well for me

Just need to be careful in low liquidity matches as the prices\spread can be all over the place.

Thanks for that Sniffer

Hi Sniffer. Quick question about this. I can't quite get my relative odds condition to look the same as in your screenshot. Yours seems to apply to the current selection, whereas mine says "back price > lay price of selection in row 2 - 10 ticks". The selection in row 2 is the same as the current selection, but I would prefer not to have to input it explicitly. How do I get it to automatically apply to the current selection as you have?
Cheers

Sounds like you have the selection as nominated, rather than current in the Stored Value Condition
It should look like this :

Then the condition will apply to whatever selection you have specified in the General tab

Thanks for the swift reply! Actually it's not that, but your screen shot has helped me to realise what I'm doing differently.
I am using a relative odds condition, comparing the back price of "current selection" with the lay price of "selection x", where the current selection and selection x are the same thing. Whereas you are using a stored value condition based on current selection only. Is my method functionally equivalent or is it doing something subtly different that I haven't fully understood? Yours it probably safer and more foolproof, but does it mean you always have to store the current prices of all your possible selections as stored values at all times? And will that slow down my refresh rate if I've got tonnes of games going on at once (all using the SofaScore stats)? Thanks for your help!
