1. Script Parameters

Parameters are variables that the program user can set in the program interface and change the logic of the script.

1.1. Name

In this block we set the type, name and description of the script, these parameters do not affect the operation. Logs and parameters will be saved under the specified name.

[Admin]

1.2. Order settings

These are user variables. The variable OrderPrice (Default value = 1.01) will be used to set the bet price. Variable PercentSize (Default value = 10%)- will be used to calculate the size of the bet as a specified percentage of the balance. 

Size check does not allow the user to enter a value less than 0 and greater than 100.

1.3. Condition of selection

The script will select only markets where:

• there is money in the market more than specified in variable TotalMatched (Default value = 1000) 
• value LAY for football team is less than specified in variable FavPriceLay (Default value = 2.0) 

Important! The choice of a favorite occurs only before the transition of the market to LIVE.

1.4. Conditions of Enter

The variables PriceHight (Default value = 1.11)  and PriceLow (Default value = 1.01)  set the price range when a bet can be made.

The variable TimeEnter  (Default value = 60)  determines the time of the match when the bet can be made

The variable TotalGoal (Default value = 2)   determines how many goals in the match can be scored to make a bet.

The variable AdvantageGoal  (Default value = 2)  determines what advantage the favorite should have

The fulfillment of these conditions means that the bet will be made only after 60 minutes of the match with the score 2:0 at the price of LAY from 1.01 to 1.11
