I'll fourth that suggestion! This staking option is already in the program since it is used in the Bookmaker and Dutching options. In Automation we have the option to Lay to fixed liability but not to Bet to win a fixed amount. It would be a very, very, useful addition.
Currently automation provides a feature to stake a fixed percentage of the bank.
However, this is not useful when I have 5 football games that start at slightly different times, e.g. 5% stakes from a £100 bank will be:
£5
£4.75
£4.51
£4.28
£4.07
Could you implement some sort of global staking bank, automation bets would be staking a % from it, and not whatever is currently available in the betfair account?
It could be set manually (click a button to set staking bank equal to betfair available balance), or it could reset automatically after a number of bets are placed etc.
It's just a bit awkward having to change the stake amount in every rule.
Not that I think about it though, when I have more strategies, I might also want several staking banks, which different rules subscribe to e.g. for different sports or just different strategies in the same sport.
Don't want to make it really complicated either.

I've just discovered that if you update a rule during inplay, the number of times it was triggered will reset!
Therefore, it is impossible to change the stake amount during inplay, as all triggers fired will be reset and you end up doubling up positions.
Another reason why a global staking bank would be useful, or, a condition for the number of matched bets in a market.
