Hi Dallas,
Here's the system that I can't seem to get to work.
It is supposed to back the first horse that trades at less than 2.00 with £2, and then if another, different horse, trades at less than 2.0 at any point during the race they should be backed with £4. If a different horse, other than the one just backed, and so can include the originally backed horse again, then trades at less than 2.0 during the race, they should be backed with double the stake again, i.e. £8. In my rule I currently have tried to set it up to support up to a maximum of 10 instances of horses trading below 2.0, but for some reason it works for the first three times the horse less than 2.0 changes and then if it happens any other times it simply ends up spamming tons of bets into the market and triggers all the additional rules instantly.
I realise the system itself is really high risk and not very good, but it's more proof of concept for a more intelligent version that I'd like to eventually create. I definitely wouldn't run this out of practice mode!
I've attached the file for you to take a look at.
Many thanks! Unbelievable that you do all this for the community!

Its to do with the signals your setting, you had the right idea but the wrong way around
For example your first rule sets a signal
your second rule (which should fire if the first rule has) instead looks for the signal from the 1st rule NOT to be set and so on through your rule
A safer way in this instance rather than using a lot of signal set and NOT set conditions is to use the increment signal
Start with the following 2 x set/modify signal rule each with a with a signal set condition
Is signal set named avoid set with a value
(signal tab) clear signal on selection named avoid2
Add anither set/modify signal rule with a with a signal set condition
Is signal set named avoid2 set with a value
(signal tab) clear signal on selection named avoid
That part will alternate which selections are backed by setting and clearing signals so the same one can be backed twice in a row
.........................................................................
For your main rule the first £2 would just have a fixed odds cond <2.0 and on signal tab use increment signal value on market (give it a simple name something like counter) after that there is no need to change anything on this signal market part for the rest of the file.
also set a signal on the selection ( this one we'll call avoid) – this will change every other rule
Then on your 2nd rule the has a £4 stake use same fixed odds conditon <2.0 and set a signal on the selection (this time call it avoid2) with the following signal condition
Signal value condition
is the value of signal named
counter
set with a value equal to 1
One your 3rd rule that has the £8 stake use same fixed odds conditon <2.0 and set a signal the selection (avoid)
and also signal value condition
is the value of signal named
counter
set with a value equal to 2
One your 4th rule that has the £8 stake use same fixed odds conditon <2.0 and set a signal the selection (avoid2)
and also signal value condition
is the value of signal named
counter
set with a value equal to 3
and so on
What your basically doing is incrementing the signal on the market by 1 each time a runner goes below <2.0 so you keep moving to the next rule and a higher stake.
While the signals being set on the selections (avoid & avoid2) alternate and one clears the other so the previous runner backed can't be backed again.
that should do it of course try this in practice mode until your 120% certain its working how you want it

Thank you so much for this Dallas! I've tried to implement the changes you have suggested that will fix it and the counter thing is working perfectly. However, still rather frustratingly, I can't get it to ignore the previous runner and thus it starts spamming the bets in again - even though this time it is the correct order. I did try to set up the two alternating avoid signals as you suggested but I couldn't find a way to make it set the second avoid signal while simultaneously clearing the first avoid signal, as it seems this isn't technically possible in the signals tab? As such, I have tried a different way of doing it but it doesn't seem to be working at all.
I'm really sorry to be such a pain, but could you let me know how I'm able to do set and clear signals simultaneously in one rule part, or if not, why my new version of this automation file still isn't working? I've attached it to this thread.
Thank you very much!

I just created a test rule with 4 back bets and it seemed to of triggered fine
"I couldn't find a way to make it set the second avoid signal while simultaneously clearing the first avoid signal,"
On the the reset signals your not setting and clearing (the setting is done by the back bet rules) these are testing for one signal to be set and if so clearing the previous
What i did do differently on the back bet rules was add a signal set condition which alternates between checking for avoid and avoid2 as shown in the bold parts below;
Then on your 2nd rule the has a £4 stake use same fixed odds conditon <2.0 and set a signal on the selection (this time call it avoid2) with the following signal condition
Signal value condition
is the value of signal named
counter
set with a value equal to 1
Signal Set Cond
Is the signal named avoid
NOT set with a value
One your 3rd rule that has the £8 stake use same fixed odds conditon <2.0 and set a signal the selection (avoid)

Marvellous stuff! I've gotten it working now. Thanks again so much for your help!
