Hi Dallas,
Enjoying the whole signalling thing, and saw one of your posts on log watching (for want of a better word). Can the latest log be sorted form the top. There seems lots of codes on the right click for right and left alignment but nothing of top/bottom. Maybe BA should set this as default, it seems more useful this way. Thanks
No it cant, it has been put forward as a suggestion and no doubt it will find its way in at some point, for now what i do is go into guardian highlight the market and below the bottom window their is another 'log' tab at the bottom - it still writes to the bottom but at least you only have that single market to scroll through rather than using the log on the main page and having to scroll thorough the whole days activity.

Thanks a pity Dallas, I guess we'll have to watch this space! cheers for the reply.

In response to this request for the log to be displayed in reverse order, I've quickly whipped up a little .net app that does just this.

It simply monitors the : @"{username}\AppData\Roaming\Bet Angel\Bet Angel Professional\MarketReports\{dd_MM-yyyy}\Logs" folder(s) and pings/repings the contents of the latest changed log into the window (in reverse order). Simple and not a lot to it, but does the job until its implemented in BA.

ignore the above download - tried it live for the first time and had expected the log files to be created in realtime as the app churned thro the rules. alas, the log files that i'm monitoring are created post race -back to the drawing board :)

Is the following possible using signals.........

I have an automation that fires a lay bet on to ANY selection when it meets a criteria and then stops....

How could I use a signal to identify the runner the bet had been placed on so as to exclude it from a subsequent bet using the same rule or is this already possible within automation?

cheers

David

Edit..............Just realised I should be able to use the Number of matched bets condition for this
Use a selection level signal.
Try this topic viewtopic.php?f=37&t=13540
We've just been talking about that method of control.

i was wondering, can you use a signal in a simliar way to the "if" statement in excel.
What i mean is if you set a signal with a value of 2, can you assign value 1 to one condition or multiple conditions, and then assign the value 2 to another seperate condition?

Yes you can assign a signal name or specific value to any rule type when it triggers or you could have the value increase or decrease automatically as a rule triggers.

and then add a condition to test if a value and/or name is set before allowing a rule to trigger

Hi...can someone please explain the term "value" to me as I'm not quite getting it. In the third baf, the value is set to 99. Why?

Thanx

Signals are initialised as being set to 'null' ie not having a value assigned to them. If you use a Signal in a condition and that signal hasn't already been set, it will contain 'null'. 'Value' just means that it has been set with something, could be anything. So, Signals contain either no value, or a value and that value can be 0, 1, 2, 3 etc

Aaah right I was thinking it was another way of using tick size. Thanks for clearing that up Shaun.

So if I wanted to use signals multiple times I could use the same value number If I wished?

Hi there's something else I don't understand...why in the examples on the OP does Dallas use For "the market" and not "selection"?

Thanks

It depends what it is your doing, in the example i was laying the field so was setting a signal on the 'market' to trigger that.
You can often use either to do the same job, but in certain situations you might have to use a certain one - hence having both gives you that extra control

Thanks Dallas but on your third example where you're backing the fav and still use "The Market" and not "The Selection" was a little confusing. In this situation because you're laying the field shouldn't the fav be named as "The Selection"?
Thanks
