How would to go about automating laying say the 2nd fav say at 1.01 to win and then if 2nd fav drifts or fades lay at certain odds to catch the drift
So you want to lay a horse at say 1.01 and then lay it for some more if it drifts?
It would be two rules.
1.Lay the selection when it's price reaches a certain point using a Fixed Odds condition. Set a Signal for the current selection to say it triggered.
2.Lay the selection using an Historical Fixed Odds condition AND the existance of the Signal you set in rule 1.
You may want to change the condition in #2 to be based on a Number of Matched Bets condition, instead of the Signal that says if rule 1 has fired.
But a Signal might be better for you because,
1. You may have other matched bets on that selection perhaps from the ladder.
2. There is a VERY strong chance that nobody will have matched your money at 1.01. Races start with 10's of thousands sat at low prices, it's very rare to see much of it go before the winner is a virtual certainty. Lots touch 1.01 and lose (approx 1 in 100 do, or 1 every 3 days), but it's not normally been taken in huge amounts.
That being so, to do what you want, you'd probably be better off laying everything in the morning at 1.01 or 02 or 03 and change rule 1 above to just set the signal that activates rule 2.

to cancel the original lay or keep the original lay if fav comes back into contention
You don't need to cancel your original lay, if it drifts and loses it obviously won't be taken, and if it comes back into contention you sound like you want it to be there in it's original position.
