Trying to create a bot that can lay every selection in a market, one tick above the current lay price to a fixed liability.
The lay all selections part is fine as is the liability setting, but the 'Place at' option has 'fixed price' greyed out so unable to change it.
Lay all, 1 tick above current lay odds?
Not sure why you would want to do this but you may have a strategy that involves laying the field high however ...
a) you cannot offer to lay above the current lay odds - you will be immediately matched at current price - best price rules
b) if you lay the field 1 tick higher as described then you are guaranteed a loss on the lays since you will have laid to a book value of less than 100%
c) if you traded out some of those lays then the net position could be made worse - laying the field has the same sort of problems as Dutching, which it mirrors

Still not finding the any selection option, this is what I'm getting http://imgur.com/SlRjB5jduggs wrote:In Guardian on the first screen when you input the name of the bot and what you want it to do and how often you want it to trigger you can either name the section use betfair order or in this instance at the bottom there is any selection

I get this problem too if I use DPI scaling higher than the default Windows setting of 96. It's not good on the ol' eyes to have to use that setting but I have no choice if I want to edit an automation rule in Guardian.
Please, BA, sort it out and make your software work with DPI scaling. The solution is not to use fixed numbers of pixels for your window width and height, or if you must then at least put scrollbars on them.

Do all the markets on Betfair have money at both sides of the book? And of the ones that do how many have lay odds 1 tick above the back odds? Less than 5% I'd guess?foxwood wrote:Not sure why you would want to do this but you may have a strategy that involves laying the field high however ...

That's different to what you asked - subject title of thread and OP talks about "1 tick above current LAY odds"Do all the markets on Betfair have money at both sides of the book? And of the ones that do how many have lay odds 1 tick above the back odds? Less than 5% I'd guess?
Managed to try duggs suggestion but that still only lays the top row.
Dallas - I'm on windows 10, used an old computer with Windows 7 and Any Selection showed up as it should.
Foxwood - apologies, managed to mix myself up in the opening post, I want a bot that will place lay bets for every selection, 1 tick higher than the currently available back odds if that clears it up?

You would need to adjust your display in windows 10 you're looking for an option saying either: 100%, Smaller, Normal font or 96dpips1967 wrote:Dallas - I'm on windows 10, used an old computer with Windows 7 and Any Selection showed up as it should.
Until this is changed you ll probebly find other screens in Bet Angel wont be displaying correctly and that things are out of line etc.
