Forcing 3rd worst price instead of best price

[Martinpeterbell]

Can anyone tell me how to force Guardian to place a bet at 3rd worst without automatically matching it to the current best?

Thanks in advance

I have read this 5 times and I am still lost, are you trying to guarantee in getting matched?

Sorry for not being clear. The parameters section of the Guardian rule configuration allows you to place a bet at custom ticks above / below the current price. I'd like to confirm the direction of the price and place a scalp bet assuming that movement will continue. Problem is if you try to place a back bet a few ticks lower than the current price Guardian realises that you can get better value at the current price so places the bet immediately.

You can't place a bet at a worse price and ask the exchange to hold it until the worse price becomes the current price.

The parameters you mention are there to give you a better chance of getting matched should the market be volatile.

If you want to trigger a bet at a certain price then you can set a price condition to do this.

your question looks weird. Maybe you want something as trailing stops:
