Automation help plz.

[lindsay1978]

I am new to using bet angel but not new to trading. I have been using other software for a while now and having difficulties with Bet angel and would like some help as when I put in the automation i want it never seem to work? The basis of what i do is no secret and is not going to make you rich anytime soon. All i want to do is send a signal in one tick higher then the lay price my back bet. Then send another signal in a lay bet the other way at the same price and green up. I want to do this as quickly as possible(I know there is a time delay with BF) I manual do it on other software at the minute but can't automate it on there. I think I may be able to automate on here using guardian which would free up some time for me.
Basically its simple binary scalping on markets such as 1.5,2.5 etc.
I have tried it on the practice mode and only got it to work once.
Can somebody write a step by step guide for me a lot to ask i know. I have watched the you tube videos but they seem to go into a lot of detail which i am not to sure i need and they never seem to work as well as when your actually doing it. Is it because i am in practice mode?
Any help or suggestion are very welcome.

Sounds like an offset bet.

In the General section you select Place a Lay bet. Then you indicate when you want it and on what selection.

Then in the Parameters tab you use the "Place At" box to select your strike price, and below that you set your desired offset.

You can use the Conditions tab to further target your bets.

The rest of the settings are fairly self-explanatory but you'll have to experiment until you get exactly what you want. Practice mode is ideal for this and doesn't affect how a rule is triggered.

Dallas's automation should give you the general basis for what you're looking for I think. If you apply it to the days races and watch the automation times and log of when each part is triggered, you'll see what's happening and why it's happening and how to modify it for your own exact needs should become clearer.

Regarding practice mode, it's more like a representation of how likely your bets are to be matched, compared to the volume/fill rate in the market. If you're using relatively small stakes on the horses then it's a good representation of your match probability, if you're trying stakes in the high hundreds or thousands on the morning greyhounds, very much less so.

Regardless of your trading experience or knowledge, if you're new to using automation, use practice mode first, then only when you're 200%+ sure your automation is configured and triggering correctly should you use live mode with minimal risking and scaling up to your desired level. If you're a good swimmer in an indoor pool, it doesn't count for much if you're dropped in a shark infested sea during a storm and 30 ft high waves with no land in sight!

Start by logging your signal changes. Use the tick box on the signals tab.
This can tell you a lot about what rules are/aren't firing.
