Yes you can use a Servant to do exactly this

There are also some ready-made examples you can download here and use as a starting point which can then be edited anyway you want

Yes, everything will be exactly the same as you have it now, including any saved settings, layout, rules files etc you've created and saved

Been testing and testing , if its on practice mode market liquidity shouldn't come into the equation , but the servant doesn't fire , I watched the horse race and wonder why it dont fire , everything was right

Very frustrating day of testing, I don't know why it doesn't fire the lay bet

Not sure what you mean here?

Practice mode is showing the live/real market the only difference is your bets do not get sent to the exchange so a rule testing traded volume, money waiting etc will trigger exactly the same in both practice and live mode - otherwise we'd never be able to test them before risking real money

Did you use any of the ready-made servant in the shared servants section I linked to in my first reply, they all get fully tested prior to upload so will work as described in there respective OP's?

If using one of your own what conditions/criteria are you trying to add, or what criteria must be met before its able to trigger?
You'd need to post some screenshots of the conditions you've used so we can see what's not been configured correctly or what's conflicting

Which one did you download?

Did you also assign it to a shortcut key and press this at the time you clicked on the price
Or where you starting the Servant from the Servant manager window?
