02/08/2021 08:34:01: £ 5.00 Lay bet placed on Mejthaam at 2.86. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 239834233462
02/08/2021 08:34:16: £ 5.00 Lay bet placed on Mejthaam at 2.92. Entirely unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 239834241070

I'm just wondering, why did it cancel the bets? There doesn't seem to be any timer on when or if the bets are accepted by the market? What makes it cancel the bets after what appears to be around 16 seconds for the first one and then 22 seconds for the second? Also, when this bot 'greens up', will it green up the entire market or just the selection it's been triggered with? And lastly the other day I was running it and changed something like the number of ticks required to trigger it and for some reason it triggered twice in close succession? Why is this when I thought there is a rule that it only triggers once? Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are no cancel instructions in the rules file so it must of come from Betfair for some reason, its usually very rare but they can sometimes close and reopen and market with a new ID in the morning if there's been enough withdrawn runners etc
It will green them all up, you can if you want change this and add rules to green up each selection individually, but the green all probably works best in this instance.
If a rule is applied to a market and you make a change and re-save it, it will be like you've just re-applied it to the market again, so any rules thats already triggered will be able to trigger again.
If re-saving you are best removing it from a market, cancelling any existing unmatched bets the re-applying after the changes have been saved.
