Good morning All, I am an automation virgin, and I am looking to set up some rules to place orders In certain goal market as set tick intervals?

I have looked at a number of other automation files but a lot are set on time.

Is there a way to put orders in the market at tick intervals ?
Any Help Is greatly apricated

If you mean when a price has moved 'X' ticks, then yes, you can use an 'Historical Relative Odds Condition' (many of the example football files use this to green up with).
Or you can use 'Stored Values' on your bet rule/s to store a price then make adjustments
ie, store current back price + 10 ticks (with the name myprice)

Then use a stored value condition to test the price is greater than the Stored Value myprice (or whatever you called it)

Hello Gents

In order to get a answer I'll try to ask a uncommon question .

How can I store a value which is the difference in ticks of 2 prices.
Me to impute prices, Bet Angel to display in log window ticks difference. i.e .. 4.00 to 3.5 = 10 Ticks ???

So, as long as you are tracking the odds on any/every selection, you can then compare the previous captured odds with the current. The image below might explain better:

In this case, oddsLayPriceDifference would display the difference (+/- between the last odds and the current). You would of course be capturing the current price in another rule and naming it oddsLayPricePrevious (or more meaningfully, oddsLayPriceCurrent).

Hope I understood what you were referring to ;). There are actually better ways using history lists, but this is probably the simplest.

I did this, but the result is in decimals not in ticks

Yes of course (1.50-1.40=0.10) not 10 ticks, rounding is 1.01
4 - 3.5 =0.5 shows (not 10 ticks)

gotcha... ok, in that case -not sure (i had genuinely thought i'd seen it using tick arithmetic when comparing odds) :D
