Newbie: Automation query

[Willerbyjames]

Hello

Having watched the vids, I've a question about the automation.

Is this possible? (Football bet)

Lay the draw
Green up when in profit - with minimum % expectation (only do so at x% profit, guess could check for a goal with unsuspended check?)
Set a stop loss for initial stake (so 100% of stake) - maybe to run after 65 mins (or whatever time desired)

In effect, minimising liability if the game hasn't gone to plan...

Can the green up be used with a negative number perhaps?

thanks in advance!

hi , football goes in one direction , the only thing that effects it is the goal maybe a sending off but mainly the goals, so forget the stop loss it wont have much affect on inplay football. look at getting in and out off the market as quickly as possible look for times in a match when the market isnt efficient or when the price moves are faster than normal and take advantage, i think its possible to red up if needed , depends what strategy you deploy.example, a goal goes in , do you red up , or did the underdog score a lucky goal and it might be worth waiting to see if the favs get back into it , Overall deploying a random strategy inplay needs to be vigourously back tested to ensure you win more times than you lose , There are lots of factors in a game which sway price , is the game wide open (lots of goals) is it defensive (no goals) , is the best player injured, etc etc. its hard to write automated rules to cover all these factors , it can be done but its difficult. i would suggest manually trading games whilst observing and find out what works best , then look to automating it.

Thanks for the reply - I'm not new to trading so am familiar with testing etc etc. Part of the reason for wanting to automate

I just wondered if I *wanted* to do the above, is it possible with the automation rules?

So lay the draw, if in profit, take it - if not, by a certain time inplay, red up at a certain loss level (100% for example)?

You can hedge your position using the green figure at any number, even negative so it should be perfectly possible to do what you want.
