Firstly, apologies in advance, i'm sure some of these Q's are already answered. I've searched various terms and topics. However, being a rookie and not always knowing the appropriate terminology I've had little success in finding answers.

A few very specific questions, thanks in advance;

I am having a similar issue with two of my rules. They both sometimes work and sometimes do not;
1. Cancel Unmatched Bets on Selection (Price Dependant ). Allow rule to trigger up to 9999 wait 2 seconds before rearming. Applies to Any Selection. Parameters: Custom ticks below best reverse market price - Ticks 2 - Cancel bets priced <= Price Parameter - LAY bets only

2. Cancel Unmatched Bets on Selection (Price Dependant). Allow rule to trigger up to 9999 wait 2 seconds before rearming. Applies to Any Selection. Parameters: Fixed Price - Odds 1.01 - Cancel bets priced >= Price Parameter - LAY bets only

They're on different trigger times, so rule 1 goes up 45 seconds before event start time and rule 2 goes 44 seconds before event start time.

As i mentioned above they both sometimes work and sometimes do not. From observation --- I think that when there is an unmatched BACK bet on the same selection then the rules don't work and the lay bets aren't cancelled.

Essentially what i am aiming to do is cancel all the LAY bet if the price drifts more than X ticks. Then 45 seconds before the jump cancel and outstanding LAY bets but keep any BACK bets.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

As a secondary, more general query; i've noticed the 'Green All Selections' rule is trash if it's in-play. Bets remain unmatched and don't 'kill'. Then the re-trigger attempting to green adds further bets, occasionally they all get matched and profit turns into loss. Any general ideas, or other helpful topics would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Have you got an historical relative odds condition to test the price move over time?

This looks fine, if you only have the markets in Guardian (ie, not on a ladder or one click screen) check to make sure you have Guardian refreshing quicly enough, the following post explain further how to do this and the options you have

Hi Dallas,

Appreciate the response.

No i don't have an historic relative odds condition. The refresh rate is all at 200ms and there's no markets open outside of guardian.

I've attached the automation file.

This is a simple test file i'm trying to get to work, i'll then expand on it later.

Essentially, i want to lay a horse pre-race between certain odds and offset it with greening. I want to do this multiple times (pending how many open positions i have). I want the back bet (offset greening) to go to Keep in play if it's not matched. I want the unmatched lay bet to stay in market unless the lay prices drifts X ticks, if so, i want it to cancel and re-trigger at the new price. I want to cancel all the lay bets X seconds before the race start time.

I seem to be having problems with the cancelling of the lay bets. Everything else works as expected.

Thanks.
