If/otherwise

Hi, I'm new to this, so would appreciate any help.

With automation can you set rules to do things such as:

Once horse [name] odds equal 1.5, lay all other horses with odds under 2.5. If no horses with odds under 2.5, back horse [name].

Apologies if this is a silly question or has been covered before.

I think this can be done with the new signals feature. I would try something like...

Set up a rule to back the favourite (trigger once only) with conditions...

Fixed Odds Condition: Position 1 sorted by favouritism < 1.5
Fixed Odds Condition: Position 2 sorted by favouritism > 2.5
Signal Set Condition: signal named "lay" for the market is not set with a value

Also, on the Signals tab...

For the market, set a signal named "back" = 1


Then set up a rule to lay the 2nd favourite (trigger once only) with conditions...

Fixed Odds Condition: Position 1 sorted by favouritism < 1.5
Fixed Odds Condition: Position 2 sorted by favouritism < 2.5
Signal Set Condition: signal named "back" for the market is not set with a value

Also, on the Signals tab...

For the market, set a signal named "lay" = 1


If you want to lay other selections then just copy the rule that lays the 2nd favourite and amend accordingly.
Although you probably won't need any more of these as it is unlikely that there will be any other selections under 2.5 at the same time.

This is just my quick guess at using signals - if you try it please test in practice mode!

Also note: If the favourite starts out under 1.5 (or not far above) you may want to add other checks to stop it firing too early (or even at all)

Thanks, I'll give it a go
