Hi,

I have tried to scalp, when the races are on, if the horse fall down, I should stop scalping. I really do not want to scalp it anymore, because the odds will starts to go into 1000. How can I avoid this situation (stop scalping)? What conditions I need to use for this? Weight of Money or how can I build this? Can I have an example please, maybe Dallas my hero?

with respect do you really think scalping inplay even using automation is a good idea?

inplay is invariably somewhat volatile.

Yes, I will stop the scalping pretty early before finnish line and of course I have an greening in use. Now I need to more conditions to stop scalping, if the horse fall downs or something happens like this.

There is a example bot already in the shared files library to do this with some basic conditions added.

Another you could add is a 'Fixed odds cond' that the lay price is less than 10.0 (or whatever odds you want) that will stop it being scalped if its fallen.

To echo the comment from To75ne scalping IR should certainly be done with caution with as many fail safes added as possible
