That would be perfect Dallas thank youDallas wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 7:22 pmNow you've clarified it elofan0 will probably be able to give you an updated example (I'm quite busy tonight and in the morning), but if he's not had chance to do it by tomorrow afternoon and if no one else has done it either i'll pop up some instructions or example for you tomorrow eveningbeermonsterman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 6:23 pmThank you Dallas its B im afterDallas wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 6:21 pmAre you looking for
A) a single price spike where the volume is greater than the current price?
B) just when the total traded volume% of a runner is greater than the Price?
From what I can see the suggestion by elofan0 will do 'B' from above
If its 'A he is correct in using the book% and as one value, but to check for a single bet/large increase within a second or two you'd need to continually test the current volume and look for an increase relative to that (which then must be greater than the book%)

I looked at something similar to this for greyhounds whereby the difference between Book% - Volume% <= -50% or Book% - Volume% >= +50%.
It seemed to work well at those extremes and prices nearly always reversed on A1 to A11 grades on the favourite.
But it was very inconsistent on other runners apart from the favourite and grades not mentioned above like ‘OR’. I suspect the reason for that was those race types are highly competitive with all runners being top rated in the race to some extent.
I tried this again tonight and one favourite dropped to 2.26 and then increased in price by a large amount of ticks.

Y, when I was thinking about it last night I realised it might not be as straight forward as it first appears, once racing is over this afternoon i'll put pen to paper and try and step through the logic of what would be needed
Actually just looking at it now and its not going to be possible, the volumes on the 'Y' axis are of course relevant to each particular selection/runner and the amount traded on it
As that's different for each it'll be impossible to tell if the most recent amount matched is enough to push it above where the book% would be, each chart would need to use the same volume scale in order to cross check one with the other

Haven't really been keeping up but isn't this a twist on the good old imbalanced book idea. Ie <>50% vol on a 2.0 or <>10% vol on the 10.0.
If so I'll just throw in that that sort of bookmaking view on maintaining a balanced book doesn't have the same drivers in an exchange. A bookie has to consider paying out on anything, but on an exchange that's not the case. There isn't the same incentive for prices to return to levels that are in proportion to their volume.

Very interesting views you guys have its great too get a look into the minds of automation professionals but i think what you guys are saying is still above my automation capability

so would any one say this can be done or is it flawed ?

When people start manually trading they seem happy enough to sit there for hour after hour, month after month watching content or playing with the ladder for 000s of hours. And some manage to do OK. Automation is no different in terms of effort, but the 000s of hours isn't all the fun of watching sports and playing on the ladder video game, it's grinding away learning technical stuff, data handling, analysis etc...and if you're lucky some of it isn't as boring as fck.beermonsterman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 9:13 ambut i think what you guys are saying is still above my automation capability
My point is that you can't avoid the work either way, and if you need knowledge you have to be prepared to learn it... but if you choose automation there's no "trading" or watching sport on the telly, it's an IT job.

Couldn't agree more Shaun i've learnt excel to a basic level and i can navigate my way around automation pretty well too i put a lot of effort in just seems my efforts are misplaced i read this forum a lot trying to catch snippets of info i will get their as i do work hard at itShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 12:51 pmWhen people start manually trading they seem happy enough to sit there for hour after hour, month after month watching content or playing with the ladder for 000s of hours.

Yes sort of, originally but looking for a way of identifying when a single traded volume bar on the BF chart crossed the price lineShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 11:58 pmHaven't really been keeping up but isn't this a twist on the good old imbalanced book idea.

There is an example here which measures the volume%, Book%, and VWAP% and there change since a chosen point which is very similar to the example you provided on the previous page just a few more pieces of information

Since that was made we can now use Value based colour settings which would definitely work better than a fixed colour as it currently is
