Hi all and Happy New Year

As a relative newcomer I have managed to identify a situation where Dutching not the whole field in certain circumstances produces a mostly consistent win when done manually and checking for a green return and now I want to automate.

But there doesn't seem to be a way to set a condition to Dutch only when the result is green - it goes ahead and dutches for a loss.

Any idea on how to do this ?

Many Thanks in advance !

Do you mean when using guardians automato only trigger this dutch bet if your in profit from a earlier trade?

Or also in guardian do you mean your getting a loss from your dutched runners?
If thats happening how are you staking? it should be by book%

Thanks Dallas yes sorry I should have been a little clearer .. I have been using the Book% to place the bet but there have been situations where - even with reduced selections - the total % of selected items is over 100 and thus a loss is encountered.
When dutching manually you can see on the RHS a green or red figure and obviously decide not to dutch if it is red. As per the screenshot all selections result in a % over 100 and thus a loss. But sometimes not all selections result in a % over 100 too.
I need to know a way of making that decision automatically.
The Book % condition seems to be related to the TOTAL book percentage, not just the accumulated % on the runners selected.
Hopefully this makes it clear. And apologies in advance if I have missed something somewhere.

I think I see what you mean now, i've set up a number of automation 'Dutching' rules both for myself and some example files in the shared files section on here and not come across a situation where its dutched into a loss.

What are you using when placing your triggered bets.?

If you using something like 'Custom ticks above best reverse odds' that should ensure that you dont end up with a losing poistion from the backed runners.

If your taking the best odds or few ticks below best odds that could explain why its happening on occasions
