Hi
I'm trying to create a simple scalping bot for horse racing but the problem I'm having is that sometimes it will fire 2 lays into the market at the same time.
I've tried the following

It's a simple bot trying to place an offset with greening, fill or kill bet

Set unmatched bets on selection to 0
Time since active fill or kill >1 seconds on selection
Matched bet amounts - The selections total amount of bet backs is equal to the selections total amount of lay bets

But still, it keeps firing 2 bets on the same selection at the same time, it even does this if I have an unmatched back bet up!

It will also fire single lay bets into the market when I have an unmatched back open.

This is not a 100% occurrence but it happens enough to frustrate me

I've studied the logs and just can't understand what is happening :cry:
I've tried so many different settings but still can't stop it happening

So yeah, the basic problem is the bot keeps firing lay bets into the market even if I have an unmatched back bet open and sometimes fires 2 lay bets in at the same time.

This is pre race

It can sometimes happen if you have a re-arm time set to 1sec

Thanks Dallas, I've noticed that having rearm set to 1 can cause a few problems.
Changed it to 3 seconds and so far so good!
