ADDING RULE TO BACK AND LAY THE FAV.IN RUNNING
I want to add a rule which prevents the lay bet being taken.Ihave added a hedge stop loss to minimise losses when the fav.drifts in running and have incorporated 3 triggers with 3 sec interval when at certain loss point.The problem is when the fav.then picks up and the price drops enough the lay is still taken and heavy losses occur albeit in pratice mode and will continue to be in that mode until i can add a rule/condition to prevent thi please.
On the parameters tab of the rules editor tick 'fill or kill' to prevent offsets being placed until opening bet is filled

Sorry I didn't make it clear.i am operating the back the fav pre off and lay in running to create a free bet if it wins or profit if lay taken and fav loses.Hedge loss greens up if price drifts to my target loss but lay is still taken if fav then comes back in again after greening up to minimise loss. Fill and Kill is cancelling lay bet without it having a chance to be filled ThanksDallas wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 4:46 pmOn the parameters tab of the rules editor tick 'fill or kill' to prevent offsets being placed until opening bet is filled

Betfair cancel all unmatched bets when they turn a market in-play unless you specify you want to keep them.silkysoph wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 5:28 pmSorry I didn't make it clear.i am operating the back the fav pre off and lay in running to create a free bet if it wins or profit if lay taken and fav loses.Hedge loss greens up if price drifts to my target loss but lay is still taken if fav then comes back in again after greening up to minimise loss.

To do that just add a 'keep unmatched bets' rule to your automation file and set it to trigger just before post time
Iam running automation Create a No Lose Trade on the Fav. and profit on Rest of Field.I have a Hedge Loss (stop loss) rule so I can minimise my losses if race going against me and also have a condition which only places back bet if Fav.is above2.06 so that the lay bet is not much below even money.The problem is that if this is triggered and no back bet is place a lay bet is still put into the market at very low odds and high stakes and the hedge loss kicks in to minimise losses when no bets should not have been placed on that race.Thanks for your help and patience and hope this makes sense!
