**Greyhound BSP automation based on traded-price volume**
Hi,
I've requested something similar before but I've worked hard to simplify what I'm asking to try to get some help.
I'm looking to create a Guardian automation with the following logic:
* For each runner, identify/store the **lowest price at which at least £100 has been matched at that individual price**. Lower prices with less than £100 matched should be ignored.
* Around **5 seconds before the off**, place a **Back SP bet**.
* Set the **minimum requested BSP** to **1.4 × the stored qualifying low**, rounded up to the next valid Betfair tick.
So essentially I'm looking for runners that have had significant money matched at a lower price, but only want the SP bet matched if they subsequently drift by at least 40%.
Ideally the matched-volume threshold and multiplier would be adjustable.
Is this possible within Guardian automation/stored values, and if so, what's the best way to set it up?
Thanks.
This is for Dallas or whoever can help. Greatly appreciated

How far out do you want it to check the lowest prices matched? It may take Guardian a minute or so to calculate this for all selections.bests3lleruk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2026 12:27 am**Greyhound BSP automation based on traded-price volume**

I've built it for you. It's only briefly tested so please absolutely sure it works as you expect before setting live in real mode. Use Practice Mode first!bests3lleruk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2026 12:27 am**Greyhound BSP automation based on traded-price volume**

Took me about 30 mins of my time to build and test. If you feel like contributing some £££ towards my weekend beer fund then feel free to PM me.
I've set it to start the minimum traded price check from 2 mins out but you can adjust this if you wish. You need a fast refresh as it cycles through each price tick per refresh, from 1.01 to 1000, so that's up to 351 refreshes needed to complete the cycle. It can probably be speeded up with a bit of tinkering if necessary.
You can adjust the minimum traded volume threshold and the BSP multiplier in the 'stored value' tab of the top rule here.
