Trap Trade Servant

[Archery1969]

Thanks for that mate.. Its working now.. One thing im noticing tho is that when the lay gets matched it bursts tho before the offset gets matched and always ends in the red.. should that be happening all the time? isnt it supposed to be cancelled if there isnt enough money to be matched straight away?

Like this:

The stake you are using is way too much for the liquidty on that selection.
- Only £58,000 has been matched in total on that market.
- There is still 11 minutes to go before the start
- You have used £100 stake on that selection.

You need lots of money arriving into the market, usally when the previous race has finished and market matched > £100,000.

You learn something everyday!

I have been playing around with BA automation for a couple of years now, thought I had been doing OK with it all and got most of it well sussed out.............., I have just been looking at this servant rules file (thank you Dallas ) and I have only just realised that you can add a stored value to a "place a back bet rule" and probably to other rules too! (I will investigate that), in the past I have always made a seperate "set/modify a stored value". I now think that there have been many, many times that I did not need to that !
silly me
goodluck all!
stay safe!
look and learn!

It dont seem to work for me.. When i press alt and left click it Backs at the best current price instead of Laying where iv clicked where the least money is waiting.. Any ideas?

G'day all, for some reason when using this servant, the back bet gets matched but no lay bet is triggered to offset. Any advice?

What refresh rate are you using, you could try speeding that up to 20ms to see if that helps

The minimum I could find is 200ms but unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem.

downloaded the automation into servant as instructed and realised the trades were activated but the equalisation trades were not
so decided to increase the £100 to £200 as your tip instruction
When i went into the lay bet detail as instructed I noticed on the general tab there was some narrative in the conditions for rules to trigger box
When i looked in the back bet conditions there werent any Is something wrong ? shouldnt the instructions and conditions be the same for bot back and lay ?(well same instructions just a few different minus and plusses
thx

Sorry having a mare with this but cant seem to get the equilisation bet to take its just running past the first stake

What refresh rate are you using and what type of markets are you running it on?

The back and lay rules within each servant will have different conditions as the opening bet is placed by you, so its only the opposing one that needs the conditions.

But both servants are set up the same way just in reverse which I guess is what you are referring to with the minus and plus parts

Make sure you have enough money in your account to allow for this servant to work. I had this problem then realised I was over staked, there wasnt enough money to place the lay stake.

Hi,
I am totally new to automatic trading. I am familiar with some trading methods including the trap method. I can across this previous post below which is exactly what I would like to modify the trap servant to do as both of these events are happening to me. Can someone please tell me how to change the setting to do this?

Thanks
Jeff

I use the back first servant all the time and modified it to close the trade if the following occurs (which it does):

1. If Lay bet gets taken but price reverses before the back bet is filled.
2. If the back bet gets taken but the lay bet was missed.

Mental servant.

Thanks very much. I have no idea how to set this up as I am completely new to these servants although not new to Bet Angel . I will read up on it in the morning from the beginning and try to work out how to set it up. Thanks again.

Hi

I have been trying to set this up as suggested but am unable to find all the necessary settings as I have no experience with this. Can someone please tell me step by step how to set this up ?

Thanks
