Greening up Algorithm

Postby Lewis » Sat Apr 10, 2010 1:24 am

Hi, I am looking to pay for a little excel coding.

I have a working bot which is profitable trading horses however I do need to monitor it as it can be unpredictable when I try to close positions automatically. I regularly find that I have a potential green book however something goes awry and I end up red on one selection or having an uneven green so have to manually use 'close positions' in the software itself. This has not been a problem while I have been fine tuning the triggers

What I need. Excel or VBA code which at a predetermined time [10-20 seconds before scheduled off]
cancels all unmatched bets.
Equalises profit loss [Green/red up]
I should state that I am willing to lose a little value to ensure reliability. The greening up algorithim should take prices available rather than offering to try and gain a single tick advantage.

What I will not do: Send you my sheet. I hope this can be avoided as I am sure you appreciate I do not think anyone untrustworthy however I am loathe to send a profitable bot to someone else who has an interest in trading. I appreciate this may make the implementation a little harder however I do have a little excel knowledge and expect I will be able to mesh the two together.

I expect this should be a fairly simply process as many of you probably already have this code somewhere in your own bot. What I am paying for is reliability and being able to implement this code straight off rather than experimenting and having costly errors myself.

This will also be viewed by myself as a form of trial for the coder. I expect over the next month I will have a few similar problems as my bot becomes more complex and would like to work with someone I can trust. This is not guaranteed however It is very likely.

I hope this is enough information, if there is anything standard that I have missed please feel free to ask.

I would sell my own greening up algorithm for 50 Euro. It also emphasizes that the green up bets are taken and occasionally gives away ticks to acchieve that. It's reliable in terms of greening up always but usually the odds change so shortly before the off which means that the green values are not exactly the same.

The only thing I would have to change is that it is done 10-20 seconds before the scheduled off only.

Have you looked at Garys example code at

http://gruss-software.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4659

It may not take much for you to incorporate that code within your own

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
