Hi all
I've just tried my first automation to lay a drifting horse.
I think guardien tried to lay a bet but the log says:

[G_Auto] : "Your liability would be £1,045.00 which exceeds your maximum liability setting of £1,000.00.
The bet has been cancelled. If you wish to adjust the maximum liability use the settings editor."

Rather than increase my liability, I think I would ike to decrease it, but I can't find the option in any settings editor.
Is there a way in guardian to set both the fixed stake and the maximum liability.
Cheers
Phil...

go to edit settings and Staking, then set figure to your required liabilty.
What i would do then is make sure you know what liability is,
THAT IS THE AMOUNT YOU CAN LOSE. I'm pretty sure you don't want to be losing
£1000 on your first trade!!!!

I also think you may be staking by FIXED AMOUNT on the layed runner, rather than by LIABILTY. this in essence means that if you stake £100 on a runner at 11 odds, you will have a liability of £1000. just speculating of course...

Cheers, and yes, your speculation is right, I'm laying at £5 fixed,
I tried to reduce my liability by restricting the lay price to 60 or below, in guardian conditions.
:idea: Think I'll change to stake by liability, that way I may get more matched.
Thanks for your help.
