This is a basic Guardian automation rule for use on Horse racing markets but could be used on several others.

Instead of looking for a price to be steady or remaining within a few ticks range It looks for the odds to move in one direction or the other on the fav then scalps in that direction, this is whats known as bias scalping.

So you could have a 20+ tick move but rather than trade with a single swing trade this scalps one tick at a time as it goes so by the end of the move you could of been in and out the market over a dozen times picking up a 1 tick profit each time.

If the odds start to drift it will place a £10 fill or kill lay bet at the current reverse price providing the WOM is greater on the lay side and if matched will offset it by 1 tick with greening.

If the odds are shortening it will place a £10 fill or kill back bet at the current reverse price providing the WOM is greater on the back side and if matched will offset it by 1 tick with greening.

Should any of the opening bets be matched and the price goes against you it will stop you out after 3 ticks - It will repeat the above from 5 mins before the off untill the final 10 seconds when it will do a final green up.

To use the file just click on the Scalp the Mover.Baf attachment link below and this will download it to your computer, then with guardian open on the "Automation" tab click "Import a Rules File" as shown in the image, once imported it will now appear in the drop down box just above, you can now apply it to any markets you have added into guardian.

The stake size as with all other aspects of this file can be edited very easily by clicking on "Edit Rules File" then click on the "General, Parameters & Conditions" tab and change to whatever you require.

With any automation bot always run in practice mode first to ensure everything is working fine, and repeat this each time you make any changes.

Tip

The movement part of this rule is controled by "Historical relative odds conditions" You can adjust the amount of movement you want to see before the rule is triggered by editing/adding this condition.

By using multiple's of this condition will ensure the move is more sustained
ie, if you had just one "Histroric odds condition" that triggered if the odds where 10 ticks greater now than they where 5 secs ago a sudden price spike could trigger the rule only for the price to then immedietly fall back to where it was so in this case you may not want the rule to trigger.

If you add muliple "Historic odds conditions" and set each slightly different for example
2 ticks greater than 5 secs ago
10 ticks greater than 10 secs ago
12 ticks greater than 20 secs ago
15 ticks greater than 40 secs ago
this would only allow the rule to trigger when all have been met so any move will of had to of been a sustained move and not the result of a sudden price spike or just short term bounce followed by a quick reversal.

Hi Dallas , thanks for posting that file . Can I ask how you are setting up to record WOM with this , as that seems to be a crucial parameter ?
Cheers.

I have just set to be greater than 51% on the side thats placing the opening bet then its upto each user to use the amount they feel is best for them - or remove it if they dont want it

Hi , Thanks for the quick reply . Also , one other question please . If instead of Greening up at 5secs before the off you wanted to Green up and close trade once a specific profit had been reached (say £5) how would you do that please ? I have tried amending a few of your files but never managed to insert that .
Cheers

This is great stuff Dallas thanks.

Going to have a play with this one.

Just a quick question about the WOM condition.. Is that taken into account at the time of placing the bet or is it taken into account when it first check the price of the selection (i.e. before the move in 2 seconds)

Its at the time of bet, the move must of happened then there must be more WOM that side of the book before the bet is triggered

Yes you can have as many or a few as you wish depending on how solid the move you want to see before allowing the rule to triggering

Just make sure they dont conflict with each other - in your image it looks like you have 2 set at 10 sec intervals

Hi.
In your Back rule, the WOM condition is set to < 49%. Should it not be set to >51% as in the Lay rule as, if the Back bet is the opening bet
it's WOM should be the greatest?
