Brand new to Automation

[cookyweb]

Hi All,

I'm just playing around with some football automation pre match, I've setup to place a backbet with 4 tick off and stop loss 3 hours before the match to 5 mins before the start. Its set to just trigger once.

Thats all fine and seems to have kicked in as it should and placed my back bet etc, but I havent specified anything to happen if my exit trade or stop loss is not hit in that time.

I'd like it to just close out for profit or loss at 5 mins before the off, please could you confirm how I get it to do this? I thought i might be a condition but am struggling.

Thank you.

You just need to add a 'Green All Selections' rule
and arm it
From 00:05:00 before event start time
Till something like 00:04:00before event start time

Ah ok thanks Dallas, I'll have a go with that.

Hi All,

Is there a way to use automation to place a back bet at the top of the range and at the same time a lay bet at the bottom of the range, both with a 2 tick offset on them?

So, the example being that the price currently is in the middle of the range, nowhere near the top or bottom, but fire the 2 opening bets in now and just wait for either to match before the offset kicks in and places exit trades?

I dont think its possible but just looking for confirmation.

Thank you.

It can be done but will require a fair bit of setting up

You'll need to use Stored values and check the money waiting at several prices above and below the current price to identify where the range ends

There is an example here which will get you started, it only checks the prices at the 1st-3rd best prices so the price needs to be close to the top or bottom for it to find the end of the range - and of course how you define a range is up to you but that can also be edited from how the file is currently set up

Thanks Dallas, that was my starting point already so I'll look deeper and get my head around it.

Thank you.

Hi Dallas,

Quick query, with Inplay Football Automation, is there a way to make the bet persistent if the mark suspends? so for example, my back bet has trigged, I have an offset in the market 10 ticks away, but the market suspends briefly for whatever reason, when the market returns my exit bet seems to disappear, is there a way to keep it because football markets constantly seem to suspend these days.

Thank you.

You can add a 'Keep All Unmatched bets' rule or a 'Keep unmatched bets on selection (price dependant)' rule and have it trigger sometime after the offset is placed

The later gives you more control so if placing multiple bets but you only want the offset part keeping you could configure that to only keep those

Hi Dallas,

I've done a little searching but cant seem to find the answer, I have a pretty simple rule setup that backs the Fav selection at a certain point, however I wanted to add a condition that the selection must have the highest traded volume of all the selections too, is that possible?

I saw that I could say the Traded Volume on the selection is greater than x, but thats a value and is obviously dependent on the event, so I cant put a figure on it. I guess I could put a % if that was possible, or just select the highest.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

99% of the time the Fav will already have the most traded on it, but to ensure it always, you would need to start with a 'Update Custom order' rule and on the Parameters tab Rank by Volume in Descending order
That would need to always be armed and re trigger every refresh

On your back bet instead of applying it to the fav would then need to be applied to then 'Selection in Custom Ranking 1' 1
(so its now triggering on the selection with the greatest traded volume)

Then if you add a 'Relative Odds Condition' to test the selections back price
is less than
the back price
Of selection by position (in order of favouritism) 2
(that will then ensure the selection is also currently the fav as well as having the highest traded volume)

Thats perfect and exactly what I need, thank you very much for taking the time to help!

Hi All,

I’ve setup some automation that put several bets into the market and I wanted it to cancel all unmatched bets as soon as the first bet is taken.

I’ve done this using the cancel all unmatched bets rule with the condition that the total matched bets = 1

However, as soon as any portion of my stake is taken it kicks in and cancels all unmatched bets including the one that started to be taken, so it only match 50p of £10

Is there a way to make it only cancel my bets when the full stake is taken ?

Thank you

[eatyourgreens]

HI, you could try adding a
total unmatched bets = 0 condition to your cancel rule

Hi there,

Of course! Grrrrr thank you it was just eluding me there but that’s so simple, I was over thinking it lol

Thank you very much
