Since Betfair went down again on Saturday for the umpteenth time I thought I would automate my trades.
I generally scalp/trade on the ladder and wanted to automatically 'Take SP all' on every trade i place in the market.
The reason for this is because Betfair collapsed mid market/pre-race and cost me again.
All screens froze and even after re-booting nothing could be done to get out of the trades.

I tried in Guardian on the automation tab and selected 'Take SP rule' I set it to trigger 8 mins before and 5 mins after 'off time' and selected all runners.
The problem is that it triggers but only uses part of the unmatched bet. e.g. if there is £20 unmatched it only takes around £17 of the unmatched stake.

So I guess my question is where am I going wrong and can it be done?
