A couple of things firstly this fat finger bot has activated on heavily backed runners a few times in the past few days. It's not a 'fat finger' that's triggering it but just something heavily backed. The only things I changed was I added more rows and I changed the ticks trigger to 20 from 25. Yet several times it's been triggered by horses just being well backed in the morning? It's almost as if it's taking the initial lowest range value and then not continually updating it
If you are running it from the evening before have you increased the number of times the Stored Value can trigger and update the lowest traded price?

It was set to trigger 1200 times every 30 seconds, so will run out of triggers after 10 hours.
If you are applying it the night before and haven't changed these the last time it will store the lowest price will be sometime early that morning.

Yes that is probably it. I didn't think of that. But what about the one I posted whereby the bot didn't green up? It does usually but on that occasion it just failed? What could I do about that? Maybe I could make it green up more times or something? In case it misses it for some reason? This is how I have it set I have it set to green up from 5 seconds before the official off time until 5 seconds after it. Maybe it somehow for some reason missed this window? How do I make sure it greens up by the off time? Thanks.

The green up rules in the original files only have two conditions
1) using a Signal condition will trigger 60-900 secs after the opening bet is placed
2) you are in profit

If you have added extra green up rules to work the same way but on additional runners make sure on your additional lay bets you duplicated them (so they have the signal set command, or if you added them manually you remembered to add the signal set part.

Okay but on my handicap bot while I developed it from the fat finger bot, I deleted the 'conditions' and I have it simply to green up from 5 seconds before the start time to 5 seconds after the start time (under rule trigger times in the general tab). The reason I did this is I want it to just settle up before the off regardless of if I'm in profit or not. So what I'm asking is how do I make this rule more robust as it appeared to miss it once but other times it worked. Maybe I give a bigger window for it to trigger and more times for it to trigger? It is currently set at 'allow rule to trigger up to 2 times'. Should I make the window bigger and maybe choose 'unlimited triggers'? If it only triggers until you're greened up, why don't you always just choose that option? Thanks for your help.
