Hi Everyone
I'm looking for someone to help me with setting up rules in guardian
I don't that excel is required as these functions appear available in guardian.
- Laying all runner's within set odds
- Trigger market at certain time
- Set Liability
- Number of ticks below best price
Best regards,
Andrew (Muzz Buzz)

Laying all runners in Guardian
Hi Juke Box that would be awesome if you could create that file:
1: Trigger lay bets all runners 60 secs before the off
2. No odds lower than $1.70, no odds greater than $21
3. Maximum liability $50.00
4. No "in Play"
5. 4% deduction on each runner. ie 8 runners = 132% market
Let me know if you have any questions

This should give you a start.
This works to Book % of £50 and is calculated from the Back price minus 4% which will at least give you the benefit of the existing overound and which will mean that your liabilty decreases and payout increases for every match - but an absolute worst case would be if you only caught one match before the off and it happened to be at odds 21 in which case you be looking at a liability of 47.62 for a payout of 2.38 if it won.
Naturally any approach that simply takes existing market prices and lays lower will mean that you'll match all the steamers, miss all the drifters and catch a few wobbling inbetweeners. If you really want to put a book together and don't want to use Excel I would recommend the bookmaking tab in BA.
Have fun.

Andrew its not an Excel fil its a BAF file - save the file in your documents then go to automation tab in guardian and import the file into BA
Now you've imported it you need to attach it to your market(s)
To apply the rule to a market(s) in Guardian go to automation tab
Select the file from the drop down 'rule file name' and select the file
Now highlight a market and click on 'apply rules to market'
You should now see the file name appear alongside the market in the list which means it is now attached.
As to backtesting. You are relying on movement in prices to fill your orders so would need access to detailed historical data on price movements. It is available to buy from Betfair. You can collect the data yourself from future markets. And you would need skills beyond the scope of this thread.
You can however use small stakes or practice mode to see how any file fares with live markets and develop your BA skills along the way.
Don't forget to check out the BA manual and the many Bet Angel videos on Youtube
