Hi all, I am very new to this and wanting to set up an automated rule for tennis so that:
- I will just use $100 as the start lay for example...

(1) Lay favourite for $100 at the price i want
Once that is triggered and matched
(2) the automation sets a back bet on this favourite for $90 at 14 ticks higher than the (1) lay
(3) the automation sets a $!00 stop loss on (1) lay 6 ticks below the initial lay price

And wanting rule (3) to be cancelled as soon/if (2) is matched.....

Im am guessing this is quite simple but I have played with it in the automation rules area for hours and not been able to work it out. Any advice or a rule download I can apply would be greatly appreciated.

When you say 'Lat at the price you want' are you wanting to use a fixed price for every match, placing it at a price relative to what the match starts at (or some other time within the match) or something else?

If its at a fixed price every match you'd just need to check what 14 ticks above that would be and use that as your fixed price on your back bet rule
and add the following two conditions
Number of unmatched bets on selection is equal to 0
Number of matched bets on selection is greater to 0

For the stop loss you'll need a 'Close trade on selection' rule (with greening if you want to have the loss spread equally across both selections)
and add a 'Close trade Profit condition'
Is less than -£100
