Simple Auto green

[PeterLe]

Hi
Im just trying to create a simple green function in guardian Automation (so I can compare directly with the function I have in excel)...

Its probably a simple solution, but Can anyone see whats wrong with this rule please as I cant seem to get it to work?

regards
Peter

Mhmm....could be that it is only active for a minute

All conditions need to be true for a rule to trigger and your conditions are mutually exclusive.

Solution: Create two rules with one condition on each.

Thanks for the reply
Sorry, Im missing something here..
If the actual green all profit was say £7.50, wouldn't both rules be true?

Could it be that your conditions haven’t been tricked yet ?
You want a very quick greening up –but limit yourself. I there is a quick goal (is it a football market ?) – then the profit perhaps is more than 10 ? The spread between 5 – 10 could be to small because your only have a limited time to green up.

Sorry I just dont understand how they are mutually exclusive?
If it were :

Green all profit >5
Green all profit <5

Then yes I could understand that, but not the rule I have?

So your green can't be >5 and <10 at the same time, right? Since this is the profit condition.

Solution:

Rule A green all >5
Rule B green all <10

Yes, sorry for the week long confusion.... I misread the original screenshot and thought it was one of the common queries we get with the green all conditions where a customer tries to trigger if profit exceeds a set amount or the loss exceeds another threshold (which sets up the mutual exclusion).

Anyway, in your case, I can only assume in the one minute it was active, the profit stayed below £5 and perhaps jumped to >£10, but never hit the sweetspot.

BetAngel - Thanks for the reply (thanks b372497 too)

It would be a neat feature if you could specify a parameter for the Green all command to use the reverse price as part of the process of greening up

Thanks Again

This is something i was looking for as well, if my understanding is correct that you mean offering at a price to green all rather than taking what is on offer? Quite often i use multiple entry positions for football but i couldnt work out how to offer my net position on multiple positions without taking what is on offer. Probably an easy way but Im useless.

We have looked at this in the past, but price spikes tend to trigger the greening and leave unmatched bets behind that only have a slim chance of filling. So what you are probably after is something that triggers using the reverse price as long as the gaps in the market are within a defined tolerance etc etc. It gets complicated very quickly, which in turn gives support a headache trying to explain it's usage. However, I'll flag it on the development list as something that is desired.

Hi
Thanks for that.
Yes I have something similar with Excel and very often you miss the odds as they move like lightening.
The only thing I would add is that you might miss ten green commands, but the one that does hit can pay off big time and cover the other nine losses.
That's the thing about this game; there are literally thousands of ways of going about trading these markets and that's what makes it interesting. I fully appreciate that there are only so many variants you can create with the guardian automation
Thanks again

Can you just make a green all as an off set of xx ticks on last matched trade? I dont want to take what is on offer.

Green all/red all net position xxx ticks.

[PeterLe]

Not sure Steve if could be done in Guardian, but you could certainly do it in Excel, fairly easily
