Just started using automation in the past week and testing a strategy . Working fine until, rules for greening up are triggered in-play.
It seems if the race goes into the last few furlongs, so quite alot of quick price movements, when it hits a green up for profit threshold, it attempts to place orders, but the stakes do not go in at what is needed, comapred to what is logged or attempted on the log sheet.
So placing an attempted back bet of €1.33 @ 75 actually gets put up as an order for €2 @1000.
Attached is Navan 20:15 3rd July, with 4 attempted green up bets placed at 20:20, but all go in at €2 @ 1000
Any thoughts?
Automation Greening Up at wrong Stake

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
To get bets below Betfairs minimum stake into the market Bet Angel needs to do this using 2 orders, first it will place £2 at the highest avaliable odds of £2, then cancel the excess and remove the required amount down to the requested price.
The risk with this is you may get the £2 matched at 1000.0 if the price trades at those odds
There is an option you can enable in your main settings that will instruct the software not to place the bet if a price is greater than 'x'

That would reduce the number of times you get caught, but there may still be the odd occasion the price hits 1000 during the in-play delay while your bet is waiting to reach the market - in these situations there is nothing you can do to prevent it

I had a similar problem. Betfair bought in a change which caused problems when greening up at small stakes. I still haven't fully understood why they did it, but it caused exactly the problem you are describing, or alternatively a lay bet went on at 1.01. You most likely need to update your version. See the below thread where Dallas kindly helped me with my problem.
Basically you need to be running version 1.54.2c. Anything less than that and you need to upgrade.
