Hello,

i have been trying to work out a rule where it will place a back be in play when odds reach below 1.21 - this I can do fine.

But if the odds start to creep back up I want to lay the above horse. Is there a way in the automation rules which I can find the horse I originally backed in the first instance?

Many Thanks

Nick

There is multiple ways it can be done, assuming you dont want use a stop loss or a rule to close the trade if £X loss is reached and just do by using a separate lay bet then you could use any of the following conditions on a "Place lay bet" rule type
"Number of Matched Bets Condition"
Equals 1

Or

"Matched Bets Amount Condition"
Back bets are equal to following fixed amount
(set this the same as the back stake your using)

Either (or both if you want to be extra cautious) of these will prevent a "place lay bet" from triggering until after your back has been matched.
