I'm trying to replicate my Betting assistant grid, can someone point me to the easiest way to get a custom column back that triggers a lay proportionally to whats been matched. I've been asking chat gpt it had me doing some automation rules but it's going round in circles :idea:

Can you define proportional to whats been matched?

ie, do you mean the total traded volume on that selection?
The amount traded at a specific price
Or do you mean the stake to be equal to the money waiting to be matched at the best price, or a percentage of what is waiting?
Or is it proportional to something else?

Thanks for taking a look, I mean t proportional by for example I place a £10 bet at 3 and £3 is matched a lay for £3 is fired off at say 1.5, if more gets matched on the back bet more lays get fired off to a maximum of the stake/£10

Sounds like you mean 'offsetting' your bets, and if so using batches you can have the offset placed as the opening side of the bet is matched
ie, if you placed a £10 bet and used batches of 10 then as each pound is matched the offset bet is placed

To use offsetting all you need to do is enable them by unticking the blue cog icon, the offset settings including fill/kill and batches are then located on the top left of the main ribbon
