Back or Lay Outside the Current Price Servant
Hi Dallas, is there a way of doing this with automation/signals?? I want to place a back bet once an in running horse reaches a certain odds with that back bet triggering a lay a set number of ticks above current best market price. Bet always goes in at market price on betfair. Am I being a bit dim today??
Yes, its detailed in this thread, which also has links to ready-made examples in the shared files sectionNiko wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 11:19 amHi Dallas, is there a way of doing this with automation/signals??

ahh, ok, but in a fast moving market you can miss the lay price doing it like that. Can you not place a lay as if you were putting a bet on the ladder screen in automation?Dallas wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 11:25 amYes, its detailed in this thread, which also has links to ready-made examples in the shared files sectionNiko wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 11:19 amHi Dallas, is there a way of doing this with automation/signals??

No, Betfair will just match it immediately if that or a better price is availableNiko wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 11:31 amahh, ok, but in a fast moving market you can miss the lay price doing it like that.

If your looking for a sort of fat finger trade there is another rule that does that, or you could combine the two if you wanted to make it more sophisticated

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help.
I am trying to take the price rather than ask for it, but not until the amount of money on the other side is depleted as you might do manually if you were scalping. I tried adapting this bot, which has got me closer than I was, but I just can't get it to fire when I want. It sits there with odds bouncing up and down around it and then suddenly fires off.
I tried using a stored value condition with the amount of money available to back instruction.
What I really want to do is for example
Using reverse ladder, if there was £100 on the pink side at 3.05 and £100 on the grey side at 3.10, I would click my servant on empty 3.05 grey side, but no bet would go in yet. Instead it watches as the money on the pink side depletes and only as it gets close or even hits zero, then my bet goes in and hopefully is taken immediately, before I trade out on the other side.
Can this be done?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, as when scalping I so often seem to be just too slow to catch it.

You couldn't place a back bet at 3.05 without Betfair matching it immediately against the lay money already waiting at 3.05, you could only offer it at 3.10 or aboveRayC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 10:48 amHi

Sorry Dallas,
Maybe I did not explain it well, but isn't that exactly what this bot does, except stores the value away from the action? I think you used a stored value or servant context. That part was not my problem, but getting it to place the bet just as the money ran out on the other side so as to jump in quick just as the price was about to drop and money come in on the side my bet just got placed.

OK i see what you mean now, just to clarify though, this servant doesn't place a pending bet it triggers the bet as the price reaches your servant context price, so to also test the money waiting at that context price you just need to add a stored value condition configured as follows to the back bet servant and that will only allow the rule to trigger if there is <£20 waiting to be matchedRayC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:20 pmSorry Dallas,

Then on the lay bet bet servant you'd change Value A in that image to look at 'The money available to lay at a price'
