Hi all

Had a freak occurance today which ended up being costly, and I want to find a way to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Using Guardian Automation, with a number of conditions in place, something extremely rare occurred in the market, which fired in an identical order to an order which was already matched earlier, which doubled my liability, which I didn’t have provisions for. And I wasn’t in front of the PC, so there was nothing I could do about it manually. I’ve been using Guardian for 5 years, and this hasn’t happened before. I don’t blame anything or anybody - it was the perfect storm, so to speak.

The obvious and easiest way to solve my problem would be to know if there is a way of controlling my cash liability in a single market (an Australian horse race in today's case). I know there is a liability clause in the Settings>Staking area, but I’m sure that limits a liability per order/bet rather than the entire market. I’m sure the answer is right there somewhere, but I cant see the forest for the trees right now.

Thanks in advance, P

Maybe use the account balance condition to trap anything unusual?

Thanks for getting back to me Peter. Where do I find the Account Balance Condition? Can't find it on BA, so guessing it's somewhere on the Betfair site...
