Hi, I have been trialing Bet Angel using Guardian. I have been tweaking a scalping formula based on betangeltv videos. It has been working fine. As soon as i go live and trade with cash all was well untill 3 races from the end of the day the software placed 6 back bets and only 2 lays then gave this error:

An error occurred while Greening Up: The order cannot be processed as your betfair account does not have enough funds (or has exceeded its exposure limit).

I do have a limited budget and just started with £10 placing £2 back bets on the 1st fav between 2.6 and 10, 5 mins before with a green up and fix order.

I just cannot get my head around why the last trading placed 6 backs and 2 lays.

My balance went from £10+ to £1.

Should I / can I limit this to 1 back/lay at any one time. Or does anyone have any idea why this occured?

here is the full log for that race:

Its hard to see why its placing multiple back bets without seeing your entire rule set up but if you add the condition "Number of Unmatched Bets Condition" and set it to equal 0 this should prevent additional bets being placed if the previous bet or its offset are still unmatched on that selection.
