Automation laying issue

[BillyWalters]

Hi guys,

I have a problem within my Automation file. Dont want to go too deep into the strategy so will try explain as best I can.

I have multiple rule files that places lay bets for set liability for horses within set odds range;
Lay 1.01-1.40
Lay 1.41-1.45
etc

I have set all rules files up as the same, except for odds difference. I want to lay all horses that fall into these odds ranges, including laying 2x horses that fall into the same category, one bet each. A problem I'm having a lot is if the odds move at the second I place the bet (Horse lay price goes from 1.41 to 1.40) the bot will place 2 bets on one horse. I only need the horse to be layed once. If any more it will disrupt the whole market. I basically want a way of the rules files to talk to each other, IF horse1 has a bet in PriceCategory1, then not to be bet in PriceCategory2. Basically matched bets on the current selection < 1..... but over 2 rules files.

tl:dr - I want to lay all horses ONCE in a race that fall into set price categories.

You can try: the number of place bet triggers condition on selection = 0

From a brief read it looks like you could use signals...

Set a signal (for the selection), on your lay bet, say signal Lay1 =1, and add a "condition" within the same Lay bet saying "Lay1" signal "not set with value".

==> that will ensure lay bet only fires once for that selection (when the signal is not set).

Assuming add this condition to every rule file? Will this consider rulefile1 if rulefile2 goes to place a bet?

Im actually enjoying this brain boggler lol.

Thanks, I'm not great with the signals etc, I have a busy Saturday night ahead then to learn lol.

If you use the number of place bet triggers on selection=0 then once the file has triggered a bet on that selection it won't fire another on that selection.

Thanks Jukebox much appreciated. I've implemented said rule so hopefully no more errors. Thanks again.
