Cancel bets if price changes during in-play delay time

[doctor143]

I want to cancel bets if the odds change during the in-play bet delay time.

For Example,
If the lay bet triggers at the odds of 2.0 in the in-play market and during the in-play delay of 5 seconds if the market moves from 2.0 to any other odds lets say 1.99, I want my automation bot to cancel the bets at very second they are listed as unmatched bets.

I have tried using historic relative odd conditions with unmatched bet conditions.
i.e.
Cancel bets when
1. unmatched bet > 0
2. lay price now = lay price 6 seconds ago.

But it is canceling all the wanted bets as well.

Given that you're mentioning specific prices in this way, can I assume, you're looking to take the prices? If so, fill or kill of 1 second should do the trick surely.

No, I am not taking the prices so fill or kill won't work I guess. Let's assume, I am placing bets 25 ticks below the best price, so it will remain unmatched. Now what I want my bot to do is, cancel all the unmatched bets if price now(i.e. after 5 secs in-play delay) is not equal to price when the bet was triggered.

I think what you want is impossible, its almost like asking your bot to unclick its mouse, Betfair will always match you at the best available price.

How come its impossible to cancel the unmatched bets? I just want to cancel the unmatched bets if the odds change during in-play bet processing time.

Can't be done - basically you have missed the bus

I'm not an expert but maybe it could be done with the "if" fuction in excel.

Equals? Don't you want <> price 6 secs ago?

And have you tried this..

A straight cancel will cancel everything, wanted or otherwise. A price dependant cancel will let you cancel bets above/below a given price.
