Laying below certain price

[cyclops1000]

Hi all
I'm starting to build a bot along these lines and am trialing it
Working on the premise that favorites can fade
The bot places a lay bet on the first runner to go below a set price in the bot - currently $2.02
Currently I've set the activation time to 1 second after the indicated start
Does that fine and it has fired on all 3 times I've run it
2 wins , 1 loss
My loss was due to the fact that the favorite was already at $1.85 before the race started
Is there any way to stop the bot firing in such a situation without going in and checking all the races?

In your conditions you can have something like:
Back Price (must be) > price x or
Lay Price (must be) > price x

Alternatively you could have a separate rule that sets a signal. The rule checks the price of the fave, and if it is below a certain price then you set the signal to = 1. And in your other rule you have a condition which says is the signal must = 0
