Hi, does anyone know how I can green up and stop more bets being placed once I hit a certain profit with this?

I've tried setting a rule to green up, close trade, all the options but nothing will stop it from continuing to place more bets.

Why isn't there a 'stop processing rules' function in Bet Angel, other software has it!
It just needs a green up / close trade condition adding to tell it what profit amount to stop placing further trades at

Thanks Dallas but I have set a rule and it just won't stop pumping money in after my target it reached!

That is to actually green you up (not stop your lay placing further bets) but first you are best changing that condition from 'close trade profit cond' to 'Green all profit cond) - Close trade is best if trading just one runner, green all is best if you can potentially trigger bets on multiple runners

You then need to add the same 'green all profit condition' to your 'lay bet' and set as <£4.99

ie, your lay can only trigger while your profit is less than £4.99

Have added this rule so hopefully this solves it:

Edit, just saw your reply after I posted, thanks!

@dallas, been doing some mods of my own to this rule, I am triggering the rule three times with a trailing stop, however, if one stop is hit then after the rule has ran three times I don't have a balanced outcome across all runners, how do I set a 'green up' rule once the number of triggers has been exhausted?

Would this do it?

Thanks

On your green up rule you would need the 'place bet cond' as you have in your image but set as equal to 3 (offsets are not counted). Then also add 'Unmatched bets Time' > 3 secs

For anyone reading this first I’ll say what a powerful tool BetAngel is an thanks to Peter for the development. Maybe if there are in-house tutorials I’ll pay a visit – but have to say if anyone hasn’t seen Peter’s videos on the Psychology of Trading then they are a must. Thanks for all of these Peter.
As a newbie I do have one question which may seem dumb so apologies.
I am still using BetAngel in practise mode and creating automation scripts.

One question I have is whether it is possible to create a script that has more than one condition when triggered based on relative odds of the favourite to another horse?

Thanks Dallas for kindly sharing this script that will Lay Fav if 2nd Fav Gets Within 1 Odds of Fav Guardian ….but is it possible to also have a second condition which will place another lay bet at the same time on another horse, as well as laying the favourite?
Thanks in advance

Apologies anyone reading my previous question.
Showing how inept I am at creating scripts
I've answered my own question.....add a new step in the rule (doh!)
But thanks anyhow :) :D

Hi Dallas,
Still trying to work out how to adjust the files.
How do I alter this file so it only lays the fav if a 2nd runner hits £2.50 rather than within 1 as it is currently set.
I would like to only lay the fav if it has hit less than say £2.30.
No greening up is required.
Are those 3 simple adjustments ?
Thanks,
Neil

Yes, that's straight forward, you would just need 2 x Fixed odds conditions adding to the lay rule
1st to test the price of the fav is <2.30
2nd to test the price of the 2nd fav is <2.50

I am trying to use the Keep it simple method. I have tried to simplify what I want to do but it doesnt seem to lay the fav.
I reckon my new basic method is to just lay the original fav when a second horse comes into £2.70.
I have made the lay price to be at 5.1 as I know the price may have jumped up by that point.(Is that the best thing to make sure the lay gets caught.)
Is there something that is incorrect in my file for it not to lay the fav?
Thanks

As far as I can see there only one small error, which is you're applying the lay rule to the fav

As your already setting a signal on the fav at the start of the race your lay rule can be applied to ANY selection and the signal condition you have will ensure it finds the fav from the start of the race.

Hi Dallas

This automation is working well, so thanks

Question. Is there a condition I can add for a stop loss or back the clear favourite, so either way the loss would be small

Regards

You would need to add another rule (rather than a condition), the following thread explains how and what to add, there's also a link to an example file you can download and copy into this file if you still get stuck
