Why is Guardian "trigger times" and "wait xx seconds before rearming" not working properly?

The last time I used guardian, was 4 years ago and back then it was working well... Right now that is not the case. No matter what I choose in rule trigger options, the rules trigger 5 times together every 8-10 seconds. Is this a glitch?

update: I figured out why it triggered 5 times. It was because I had filled all of the 5 automation rules. But still the time between triggering is not working for me. I want my rules to be trigerred every 0.4 seconds or at least every second. But it takes 8-10 seconds no matter what I choose when making the rule

Also, I am applying rules to many markets but I can't figure out how to see for which market the trigger triggered without checking every single market. Is there a shortcut to see trigger counter in one of the columns ?

It is almost certainly down to having a lot of markets loaded and the time it takes for Guardian to cycle through them...

You can:

- speed up the market refresh interval (on the Guardian Market tab)
- automatically switch to next market at a certain time (on the Guardian Market tab)
- "Restrict Refresh" on the Advanced Tab

You also have the option in the rules files to rearm "every refresh"..

Whatever solution you choose need to take account of guardian refresh time in the design of the bot, especially if lots of markets loaded.

You could set up an alert that triggers every time a bet is placed and displays on a watchlist?
