I've been working on a tennis trading strategy and it is showing great profitability. I've been looking to automate this strategy and whilst I feel that it is perfectly possible to do so, there are some problems.
My strategy involves two lay bets being placed 30 seconds before the event start and I cancel any bets that are unmatched after 40 minutes. I also want any unmatched bets to be cancelled if I am in profit.
I currently have a rule to cancel all unmatched bets on the favourite if I the green all profit is above £0. However, for some reason, it cancels the second lay bet (which is at smaller odds) when the first lay bet is matched. I have already turned off the setting that cancels unmatched bets when trades are closed but Guardian still cancels the first unmatched bet.
To reiterate, I only want unmatched bets to be cancelled at the 40 minute mark and if I am in profit. The green all profit condition doesn't seem to be working for me currently. If it matters I am nominating the favourite as that is who I usually trade on. I have also tried a close profit trade condition to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Need a little help with automating my strategy
When the bets are placed, is there any rule linkage or conditionality between the two lay bets?nathanrussell wrote:

No there isn't and I'd also like it if only the first lay bet (the one at higher odds) could be cancelled within 39 minutes and have the other one run until it was either matched or if both selections were in profit. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.gazuty wrote:When the bets are placed, is there any rule linkage or conditionality between the two lay bets?nathanrussell wrote:

I believe I can do it for you in Excel. Let me know if you are interested in. david [email protected]
