Trade Opportunity Lookup
Posted in Let's Get Started by StefanBelo Tags: PRO
Any automated trading solution needs to implement two methods, a way how to select a market and selection on which to bet or trade, and a betting or trading algorithm. The Trade Opportunity Lookup service is a tool which could help you solve both problems.
The Trade Opportunity Lookup service works in two modes, either starting to monitor markets in the preset time before the official market start off, or constantly monitoring all markets with preset refresh rate.
Before starting the Trade Opportunity Lookup service you need to set criteria for market selection by adding a new lookup bot. As a lookup bot can be used a bot criteria setting or customized lookup bot script. The simplest way is to use a bot criteria settings you defined in the Bot Executor.
To add a new bot click on the toolbar button Add a new bot, or on the Edit the bot to edit bot settings. You can delete bot setting you do not need anymore, or just disabled the bot from execution by unchecking the Bot Enabled.
As you want to use bot criteria from the Bot Executor check that setting and click on the button Copy Bot Criteria, the Bot Criteria appears and you can select which bot criteria setting you want to use as a lookup bot.
Setting the lookup mode by checking or unchecking Start monitoring x seconds before and the refresh rate, is everything ready to start the Trade Opportunity Lookup service by loading markets. To load markets click on the toolbar button Browse Markets or Events popup menu and select what most suits your way of selecting markets:
- Browse selected markets
- Browse selected events
- Browse selected market type
- Browse selected in-play market type
- Browse horse racing - Today's Card
- Browse horse racing - Today's Card UK
When markets are loaded for monitoring each market is evaluated by lookup bot and when all criteria are met the lookup bot executes the trading routine, you can see all results in the My Results page.
Remember the past performance is no indication of the future performance.
