hi all,
what im looking to do is,
back or lay 1-2 or 3 horses on the ladder for a pre determined amount,
that even a numpty like me can do.
i then want to set a profit amount in the greenup, which i cant seem to sort.
i know it must work, because when the greenup gets to my profit, and i try to take it, some other bugger is far quicker than me, and as often as not i continually press the greenup and the profit turns into a loss.
what can i do,
HELP ME

You can download a file from the following thread to do this, you then just need to edit the profit amount you want to set, if you have never downloaded and imported a file from the forum before there is a link to a short video tutorial in the opening post
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=11407
Also, there is the following step by step guide to downloading, importing and applying a file to the markets
viewtopic.php?f=37&t=13950
To edit the profit amount after importing the file into Guardian click 'edit rules file' and go onto the condition tab and change the profit value to whatever you want
Any problems just post back with where you got up to

After you download the file I have given you a link you apply it to the days markets then you still place your bets as normal but when the profit amount you set is exceeded then the software will green up for you.
To apply it to the days markets open guardian by clicking the 'G' icon then tick the 'show sidebar window' select the 'quick picks tab tick UK (or whatever other countries you want) then click add
Finally, click 'apply rules file to all markets'
Then you can go about trading as normal and the rules file will trigger in the background if and when the profit value is met
Look, I'll make my point brief and to the point! DO NOT use automation! Why? Because you are NOT in control of the event, it's as simple as that! I've been on Betfair since 2006 and ALWAYS play in-running!! Oh, and I've made a lot of money!!!!!
It's not very wise to advise Bet Angel users not to use Bet Angel for automation, on the Bet Angel forum, given the amount of work that's gone into the software, not to mention the number of successful auto-traders on here!!
Nobody is in control of any event whether you trade manually or automatically. Unless you've actually tried your hand at automation you'll never know. Just because you're successful at in-play trading doesn't mean other people have to specialize in what you're doing - we all have our own areas of expertise.
I hope you didn't back the 1.01 loser the other day that unseated in the bumper?

This is ok for automation just use the Hedge Profit part and add to any rule you are using.

This advice doesn't recognise the two very different approaches. Trading an individual race by race reading is fine, but it's also possible to successfully automate over large number of races using general principles. It might not be that specific races are traded optimally but it does allow you to trade a greater number of them 24/7 (UK & Aus); and it also misses the point that not everyone wants to sit at their screen watching horse racing 7 days a week or 8 hours a day.
If you're using "member since...." as a qualification, then I've been on Betfair since 2000.
