Morning all,

can anyone help me with a small issue I have with my greyhound bot.

I would like to let it run until it reaches a set target for the day, or loss, then tell it to stop.

Is this possible.

Thanks in advance.

After your bot greens up, you could store your PL in a shared SV, keep a tally, and have a rule that only fires bets when your target PL hasn't been achieved.

It's not advisable though. If your bot is profitable you'd only be limiting your profits by stopping at a target value. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate 361°. Bots and the laws of maths operate the same regardless of how much the Earth's rotated. :)

You can use this example, and just add a stored value condition to your back/lay rule to test
the stored value named 'Total_Profit'
for Bet Angel
is less than than
(whatever amount you want it to stop triggering at)

As Derek said though it's really a good idea to stop at a profit while allowing losses to run, if the bot is profitable leave it plough through as many markets as possible

Hi Dallas,

I wonder if you could take a look at this for me if you get a minute.

I've added a stored value condition to my lay bot, but it doesn't stop at a target/loss when it reaches either.

Thanks very much
