Hi all.
Have devised a nice little bot, backing at 1.3, laying 25 ticks lower with stop on in running fav.
All working very nicely at present but, wondering is it possible to re trigger same bet after stop has kicked in if same or different fav prices come back in again? rather than lose a little and regaining advantage?
Stop only triggered twice today which is fair enough.
If possible to re trigger? and how please?
Cheers,
Neil.

I assume you mean you only want it to fire on another runner and not the same one again if a stop has been triggered?

Hi Dallas,
Same or different bud, depending which is IR fav at that particular moment in time.

appologies Dallas, not a great reply of mine to you.
Yes, re trigger ag=fter stop has been implemented for what ever IR fav is when it touches 1.3 again.

To include the same runner just increase the number of triggers being used and set the re-arm time to about 3-5 secs and add the following condition;

Number of unmatched bets condition
on 'selection'
is 'equal' to 0

Cheers bud.
Will let you know what the crack is if stop is implemented next time.

Hi Dallas,
Re triggering is occuring fine after implementing your instruction.
But there is something strange occuring though.
I have offset @20 ticks with greening and stop, but when stop kicks in and then bet retriggers as intended.
Not all horses have greened up equally.
The winning horse greens up but at a lesser amount compared to rest of the field. E.G. winning horse greens up at £1.83 which incurred a stop and retriggered bet after stop, and rest of field green up at £3.74.
Any thoughts please?
Neil.

Stop loss values are taken from your offset bets so after its triggered an additional green up will always be required to balance everything, the larger the gap between the offset and stop loss the bigger any inbalance will be

Hey,
Right then, I think I understand bud.
So If winning horse after re greening is lesser amount, thats how much you win? £1.83 rather than £3.84?
Which is much much better than nothing on a £10 bet, 10.83% return is quite acceptable in my opinion?

You will win or lose the amount showing under the selections name that wins the event, so if you have greened up (have a equal profit or loss) across all of them it does nt matter who wins.

Hi Dallas.
Appologies for being an utter pain but, re triggering is occuring even though first back bet matched, offset lay bet matched on in IR Fav even when no stop has triggered or needed triggering.
Am I right in thinking that your original advice in adding the certain condition you instructed me upon allows a possible new IR to trigger? after stop which was the possibility I wanted to counter.
And added re triggering on already matched bets is a bonus on already a winning horse?
Thanks for your patience,
Neil.

The condition advised earlier will still allow further back bets on any selection (including one thats been greened up) as long as their is no unmatched bets on that selection.
You can instruct a rule to stop firing on a selection or completly if a certain P/L value is reached if you wanted

Hi Dallas,

My back bets not firing on selection after green up. Im backing & laying a tennis player when winning by 2 games or more. I know you can allow the rule to trigger x number of times and re-arm after x amount of seconds, but could it be set to re-trigger when the tennis player is winning by 2 games again in the match.
