Hi Stan,
Sorry, but i guess we might get going around circles.
First: i think there´s no doubt´s about what to improve in "Number movement" and what is pretended by "number movement by position" and "number movement by digit". In any of this cases what matters is the movement, up or down or mantain. Not the amount by which increases or decreases.
Second: At what range shall that apply?
i) to the last draw: filtering tickets that share the same combination of movement between the last two draws.
ii) to a range of tickets like the last ten: filtering all combinations of tickets that have the same combinatios of movements observed in the last ten
draws (or any other range the user fits into the window for draw selection)
or
iii) to the movements originated from the tickets that belong to the same "family"
Examplifing:
draw1: 1,3,23,34,45
draw2: 2,12,13,16,50
draw3: 1,6,22,36,40
draw4: 3,4,12,21,33
draw5: 1,15,29,46,47
draw6: 12,14,18,19,23
draw7: 1,7,18,34,50
next draw ?
filtering by i), filter movement equal from draw6 to draw7 (down, down,maintain, up,up)
filtering by ii) filter movement combinations equal from draw9 to draw10 (not present),draw 8 to 9, draw7 to 8,..., till draw1 to 2.
filtering by iii) filter movements equal from draw1 to 2, draw3 to 4 and draw5 to 6 (only from the ones that like the last one started by 1
Well Stan, this is it.
If you "extend the window for draw selection by adding an option to use any ticket filter to select past draws" would work but it has to select automatically all draws started by the same number as the first number of the latest draw and calculate all the subsequent movements from that draws. On the base of this it would filter all combinations in the package that share (there it would be good to select 4 to 5 movements, because there might be repetitions) that movements.
Note: combinations started by 1 or terminated in 50 (in my lottery) are quite a extreme case because they can´t go down further in caseof 1 or up in case of 50, cases in wich we consider the number to be maintened, i guess...
Regards,
PS: today i had sometime at my work and did the excell document attached. I think it explains well what is pretended. Please give your opinion and if you have some idea about it´s implementation or something that could be better.
Thanks
