Is there a reason why "Every" isnt available for backing\laying at SP ?
I have a number of selections that have an "Enter" SV set, based on external data. But as I don't know which selections they will be I'd like to use an Every rule, with a condition that the SV is set for that runner.
The only way I can get around it at the moment is to create a separate rule per all possible runner positions i.e 1-25
Back at SP - EVERY Selection

Yes, I sometimes find I cannot use Every for a rule and have to set up an Any loop to cover up to 40 runners. It's not a pain and have never mentioned it before but as it's now part of a topic I thought I would break silence. 
I've always assumed there is a coding reason because of the way BA works.

I think this one is just an oversight, but I might be wrong.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 9:56 amYes, I sometimes find I cannot use Every for a rule and have to set up an Any loop to cover up to 40 runners.

Another thing that would be handy for me is if we could use SP Limit to back to win a fixed amount. I know that is difficult because we dont have a price (yet) but if we could back to win say $100 at the current price we'd get close enough. Having only 'fixed stake' is definitely an issue for me (although i understand why it's the case)

The way I handle bets with a stake that varies (sp or sp hedging dependant on exposure usually) can be simulated in BA I think. Ie store the price, stake and exposure when you place the bet, if the price moves by a given amount, or your exposure changes, compare that with your existing bet, and if the stake has changed by say, a quid or the side has, then cancel/replace the bet. You need thresholds on the change otherwise it amends it too often. Especially true near the start because if they go off mid cancek/replace you can get caught with your trousers down.
Basically keep cancelling/replacing as the price moves to adjust your stake.

To back only the horses that meet my conditions at BFSP without leaving them sitting unmatched. Doing that doesn't cater for a minimum acceptable price.

6yrs a user and I still don't get Any and Every. 
Even the dictionary doesn't help:
Every always refers to the total number of something. Any refers to one, several or all of a total number

'Any' saves time. If you want X to happen when any selection achieves Y condition; if you choose 'every' then Guardian will check through every single selection when it could have just stopped after it hit the first one.
