Hi all,

Newish here, thanks for all the info you guys share on here. I used this analogy when chatting with Dallas but I'll risk repeating myself to a wider audience - This is like prospecting for gold, no one here is (rightly so) gonna tell you where the gold is but they will help you aquire some top quality picks and shovels.

Anyway my question:

I have built an an automation rules file that has an in play green up rule in it that will only fire if there are no unmatched bets in the market.
so it properly fires a greening trade under this circumstance.

problem is if the trade is missed due to a fast moving market it is stuck as there is now its own trade in the market and therefore cannot fire again.

now sometimes the market is moving for me and sometimes against but id like to have more control.

is there some sort of fill or kill green up rule I can use ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Rich

I do this when greening just before the off; Create a new rule to cancel all bets - this rule to fire repeatedly, timed to trigger 1 second before the next green-up rule will fire. Its success depends on having a 20ms refresh rate though.
