No, it's more related to the number of selections in a market. It's designed to catch situations where the structure of the market has changed.

For example you may be willing to lay a horse at 5.00 in a ten runner field but if the number of selections drops to eight then the horse wont be the same value in the market so you wouldn't want to lay it at 5.00 any more. So it relates to the number of selections in a market.

Thanks Euler i would email the strategy to you if you send me a contact, i need to be able to stop a back bet going in if the first back bet doesnt get matched otherwise i lose 10% rather than 5%

There is an unmatched bet condition in there, you may want to use that.
