Lay the Over 2.5 Goals & Green Up Guardian Automation Bot

[jimmymuscle]

HI,
I have modified this automation a little to add a trailing stop loss and use this on the Lay the over 3.5 market.
The issue I am having is if a goal is scored and the price comes in the trailing stop loss isn't catching it. And seems to do nothing!

I presume this is in the way I have set it up.
Any help on what values would best suit this market would be greatly appreciated. I have adjusted stop Trigger (Ticks) and Place at (ticks) from 5 and 5. To 7 and 10. but it doesn't seem to catch the trade coming back down.

Thanks for any advice.
James

A trailing stop is pointless in football markets as the prices only move in one direction as the time decays - unless a goal is scored or a red card is issued
When one of these happen Betfair will suspended the market then reopen it at which time the market will reform around new prices, a trailing stop will be triggered and the bet placed but it will just end up unmatched usually well away from the new prices it's now trading at

Hi Dallas,
Can you please check, what is wrong with my baf file?

The rule should place offset bet with greening on under 2.5 market. but nothing happens.
Thanks!

First , Change the selection to (Row 1), not (name), do the same with any conditions.

2 of the rules have (Relative odds conditions) Their a bit specific, so may cause some issues. I could see them not trigger a lot of the time. I would set them to 1, especially the back bet.

I hope I understand you correctly

It looks OK.
I have made a couple of changes.
Added, New rule (Cancel to keep). Cancels the back bet, this is to avoid part matched bets.
unmatched bet condition added to the Keep bets rule.
Extended the start time on the cancel all bets rule. This is to avoid the rule triggering ,whilst the market is resettling.

I haven’t tested this file, so test in practice mode. Some of the times are a bit tight. Depending on how many markets you have in Guardian, you may find some markets are skipped and no bets triggered. Something to keep an eye on.
One last thing, you may find that the close trade, does not all way get matched. You may want to find a way to deal with that issue.

Thanks a lot.
It works, but it looks like he only places bets on markets where there are no gaps between back and lay bets.
I want to let him have 3 tick gap.

Should I change from -1 to -3 in Relative Odds condition?

[Dabbla]

A 3 tick gap , will be -4 .
