Hi all, firstly - Happy new year to everyone, hope yours has been as great as possible.
I'm on here because I'm a little bit stuck for answers at the moment. I'll attempt to describe the automation process that i'm trying to build, and see if anyone can help.
The process I want to automate is as follows:
1 - Lay a chosen horse at starting price, with possbility for 2pt green. So staking 2 points. (if £1000 is bank, 2 points would be £20).
2 - If the red (negative hedge) reaches a total of 1pt then immediately trade out, taking the 1pt loss.
3 - If not, and the horse greens and eventually reaches 1pt profit, immediately trade out.
I've attempted to not use automation, relying on stop losses instead. However, i've been caught out a few times when my stop loss isn't fulfilled, leaving me with much larger liabilities than i'd like.
I've experimented with automation depending on the odds (if the odds of a horse steam in, causing red, the automation automatically places a back bet) However, it requires changing of the fixed stake each time and all in all, got me abit confused.
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, that'd be really appreciated.
Thanks.

There isn't a way to guarantee any bet will be matched in-running, ie, if a horse falls it's odd wi go to 1000 in an instant with no chance of any stop loss bet being matched.
The best way to ensure you have the highest chance is to use a green up rule as you have been and arm it to trigger multiple times every 2-3 secs.
It won't catch them all but it is about the best way of doing this
