Let's imagine simple condition:
"Back In-play each runner if the Back price falls below 5" and Lay price is less then 7.
To perform this task it is necessary to create separate condition for each runner by Betfair order. To cover all runners in most of the races we have to create about 20 conditions (most of the races have < 20 runners). And what if I want to do the same not only for odds = 5, but also 2 and 1.5 ? This means another sets of rules, all together 60. So every refresh cycle 60 rules have to be evaluated.
My questions are
- what can be the time difference in ms between executing rule No. 1 and rule No. 60?
- is there any reasonable limit saying how many conditions can be used at the same time?
Thanks for reply

Large number of conditions
Easy to do this in Excel,
but I am almost sure that this solution is generaly slower (I am talking about miliseconds) than using built-in automation. To transfer data into excel sheet, to run some makro every refresh cycle and to get command from excel it takes BA some extra time. This time is not negligible to me. On top of that - the number of condition that should be evaluated in Excel is actualy more less the sime like in Guardian automation so I don't see real chance for improvement this way.

I have guardian automations with well over 200 conditions covering full fields. On a Saturday I've got around 100 events loaded into Guardian. Never misses a beat.
Works well and makes me profits daily.
PS, I build my own machines, and just like cars, I like em powerful, top spec processor, maximum RAM. My son helps with the overclocking. But I'm not even sure you really need this, because I also run the same automations on virtual servers with no-where near that kind of spec and its never been an issue.

Hi Guys, I have been reading the forums on and off for a couple of years but have never posted. Rather than start my own I was just wondering if someone could help me please with an easy automation at backing when in play between a certain price of say 1.40 and 1.20. I am new at the automation and I can't seem to get it to trigger for me for some reason.
Thanks in advance

There isn't a fixed limit - you're only limited by how many you can easily manage with the user interface without confusing yourself!PeterLe wrote:how many conditions can you have on a single rule? Similarly on a complete rules file ?
The only thing to remember is ALL conditions on a rule have to be true for the rule to trigger. i.e. The rule has to meet all its conditions.
