Hi all,

Is it possible to see your max risk for the race duration if you are running an automation rule. ie what was the minimum I needed in my account to run the automation with a set fixed ammount for back and lay bets.

Thanks David

Not quite sure what you are getting at here...

Your max risk is known as you have set up the bot in a certain way & the min required in account = max risk otherwise BF will start rejecting bets if exposure limit breached?

You can control max exposure through settings on:

- BF
- within BA settings
- within the bot (e.g. conditions on P&L, number of bets placed etc)

(if placing lots of lays though sometimes BF can't cope & will return an error that max exposure breached / insufficient amount in account when you are actually well within limits)..

I find the easiest way to monitor exposure is to capture the "P&L" for every runner as a SV and use the MIN SV feature to calculate the Maximum exposure for the Market.

You can then use this SV to control whether a bet is placed or not and hence control overall exposure.

also, would you know if it possible to change your stake based on the P$L of the previous race. Thanks
