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?
Step-By-Step Examples How to Set Automation Signals
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.MemphisFlash wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2017 7:32 pmi was wondering, can you use a signal in a simliar way to the "if" statement in excel.

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

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

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
Thanks
I used a combination of both, i used signal on 'selections' to track the bets on individual runner then when once of them reached the desired amount of bets i was looking for used a signal on the 'market' to prevent any further bets.
The opening post of this thread has links to all the example files that use signals

If you look through some of them you'll see the type of situations its appropriate to use 'market' or 'selection' when setting a signal

Aahh so you have...I missed that. Thanks and thanks for the link.
Just one more thing. I'm not quite getting the "Number of unmatched bets". Is this condition used for each particular selection or does it prevent further bets on say two selections. For example if I'm backing or laying first on two selections in any market, can I use this condition on both selections or will it conflict?
You have the choice of specifying if you want to check if the unmatched bets are on a selection or the market as a whole, if using selection it only looks at the one the rule is running on
