Simple Scalping Servant

Bump. Log shows monitoring all selections, but not placing any bets. And only wanted servant to monitor mouse/context chosen selection!

Hi,

I've slightly modified this servant into 2 servants, a back 1st and a lay 1st servant. I've also added a rule to trigger only when either servant has less than 50% less money on the opposing side, at the LTP.

I would be grateful if anyone more knowledgeable than myself, could double check that I've got my modifications right.

Test Back Scalping.baf

Test Lay Scalping.baf

And a big thankyou to all the forum posters who have shared their servant and automation files. It's a big help having a template as a starting point.

The Stored Value Condition is testing the money traded at the best back price against the best lay price (not LTP) and vice versa for the other servant
But both appearing to be triggering correctly when that condition is met?

Thanks Dallas. Changed the The Stored Value Condition to LTP, and now working as intended.

Hi
I am trying to adapt this servant to stake to Back Book %.

As it stands with my mods it places a back and lay bet at the same time. I have been trying to sort this out for a while and wondered if anyone could have a quick look and see what I am doing wrong please.

Thanks

Not sure exactly what this bot is supposed to be doing. The issue is, both bets will fire when there are no unmatched bets. One of the rules should probably be set to 0 unmatched and the other to 1 matched bet.

I was looking into the possibility of modifying the staking method of the original servant from fixed stake to Book%.

Hi Dallas, the bot works well, but perhaps I missed a step. When the back bet is placed one tick above the best market price and the lay bet one tick below the best market price, then when the back bet is matched first and then the lay bet is matched, the profit is always zero. Am I wrong? I've tested the bot several times in practice mode, but the result is always the same. It would be more logical for the lay bet to be placed two or more ticks below. Sorry if I made a trivial observation, or perhaps I'm not fully understanding the bot's meaning. Thanks.

You only need a back bet to be matched at a higher price than the lay bet to secure a profit

This servant uses the same stake for both back and lay bets so once both are matched you'll have a profit if that selection goes on to win (but lose nothing if any of the other selections win

Its up to you if you then want to green up and spread the profit equally across all selections once you've finished using the Servant on that market (and before it goes in-play)
Or you can run it on multiple selections ie, you might want to use it on just the front three in the betting and leave any and all profits on just those three selections
