Close position time-out rule?

[warnocksbumbag]

Hi.

Apologies if this is obvious somewhere, but how can a set a timer rule to start counting when a back bet is auto-placed, then green up after a set period, say 5 mins? I have tried setting an incremental signal rule re-arming every second but it doesn't always work, often only incrementing every 14-15 seconds for some reason? Hopefully and easy solution to this I have overlooked!

Thanks
Ben

That sounds like you have your Guardian refresh rate to slow for the number of markets you have loaded, this page explains why this happens and where to make the changes

Also the increment signal needs to be on your bet rule so it get sets as soon as the bet is placed
Then you'd use a 'Signal Changed' condition on your green up rule to test that signal changed between 300 and 301 secs ago

Yes that makes sense. Will adjust refresh rate as you suggest. Many thanks Dallas!

Just a little conundrum. So I had two green up rules, one to green at a set profit, say £10 and another to green up after a set amount of time (after 300 seconds) if that profit had not been achieved - it ran fine for a while but I had a instance where both green rules were triggered at exactly the same time. Seemingly, the market was suspended between the opening bet being filled and the timer elapsing, and on unsuspending, both the timer green and the profit green rule were triggered simultaneously? Is this possible, and if so is there a simple way to prevent this double greening?

Easiest thing is probably to use different re-arms times for each, ie, 10secs for the profit green up and 25secs for the timed green up
That way if both do trigger together the way you described (and cancel each other out) only one at a time will trigger shortly after and as soon as one is successful then there'll be nothing else for the other triggers of either rule to do
