Is it possible to set a condition so that a bet is only placed if the selection has NEVER traded lower than the current back price? I seem to only be able to choose LTP now or x seconds ago?

Add a Stored Value Condition to your bet instruction
Select 'The Price of a Selection'
And then in the drop down you'll find 'Low Traded Price'

and then decide what you want to compare it to etc

i think you could do this by setting up some variables (forgotten already what BA call their vars :D). to track the back price. You'd set a condition to capture the value to be the current back odds, and recapture it each time it is less than the captured value. Then, in you other conditions, when the conditions of that were met, you'd only place your bet if the current odds had never been breached before. I think you can also test that the variable value had been set within a defined period of time, thus allowing you to determine if the new low value of the back odds is a recent change.

someone will hopefully repackage this in proper BA rules lingo :D

[edit] - variable = stored value!!
