Hello my fellow Automation Crew!
I have been 'live testing' this bot which I will attach. It has been working well. It is based on the lay the poor starter.
So, first 3 rows on this automation on rows 2,3,4. The Bot will look in the 2,3,4 rows which have a sarting price below 12, then inPlay from 6secs-18secs anything that moves OUT by 7 ticks it will Lay a 'by Liability' for £15.
It does this fine. As you can see if you open the file!!
I have put in some safety nets based on my knowledge, on greening out at certain times from 5F - 2.0M. Which it does.

Small profits but generally working.
Sometimes it does this!

What I am basically saying is, I feel Im nearly there but need to tighten the ship up and stop those silly 'reds' coming in.
I know there are other more experience 'automation crews' out there which might be able to help. Im slightly new so be gentle on me!!

With you posting the log has it been mis-firing / not working as you expected or are you just looking for general advice on parameters/conditions to add to it?

[billbo001]

Hi Dallas
Bit of both really!
Happened again tonight aswell. I have made a copy of the log if you wish to see it!

Which part of it didn't work?
The log you posted above seems to look like everything triggered OK

[billbo001]

I agree Dallas. In the log it said this “An error occurred while cancelling bets: The entire order has been rejected.” Do you know what this means? Would you suggest any more parameters or conditions I could add?

Its normally if the Betfair matching engine has started matching a bet this error is thrown (ie, the bet is no longer there to be matched or is being part matched).
But another cancel order triggered at the same time which completed the task if the error was relating to the same bet

There's nothing you can add/change to rectify this sometimes these things happen, so wouldn't worry about it unless it begins causing issues like not cancelling at all or doing so after a delayed time etc

Thanks Dallas
Could I ask you to have a look at the file when you get a chance in your busy schedule, if you would change or add any conditions or parameters to the automation?

Hi Dallas
Hope all is well, just wondered if you could help in fine tuning this automation.
Thankyou in advance
Will

If it's not behaving as you expect or want to make a certain change I can advise the best way to go about it, but I try not to get involved with the actual advising of what tweaks to make etc, this is something users need to figure out themselves and the only way to do so is through plenty of testing and note keeping with subtle tweaks as they go

[billbo001]

Thankyou, maybe just advise sir!
