Back to Lay and scratch

[Niko]

Can you automate a back bet with fill or kill so that when the back is matched and the lay is placed and the market moves against you you can scratch the lay for the same stake as your back (if that makes sense!)

Cheers Dallas but I am more after a rule to scratch the trade if the lay does not get matched. It just sits there with the price going away from me. I would like a rule to red the trade after say three seconds if the lay does not match??

Scratch is where you try and exit at the same price as entry for zero loss, are you wanting to just exit and take a loss if it moves away or is not matched within a period of time?

That's right, sorry, terminology wrong!!

No probs, try this one which greens if offset is not matched after 5 secs, but you could also add an historical relative odds cond to test if its moved X ticks as well

Problem with greening is that's for the whole market (unless I'm mistaken and you can do it on a single selection now?? I have in my rules multiple runners being backed and layed at that same time. Problem comes when one of them fails to match the lay. How do I exit that trade alone??

Cheers!!

if you change the rule type from 'green all selections' to close trade on selection with greening' that will do the same but can be applied to individual selections.

There then a separate 'close trade profit condition' which can be used with it to close if an individual selection reaches a certain value

Doh!! I was so close!! Many thanks!!
