Hi,

Its basic what I am asking for. I trade outright markets on events that typically dont "start" within 24 hours.

If i want to place a bet £100 on Selection A at 3.0, But I dont want to enter £100 into the market waiting for it to be matched, I would prefer to enter £20 at 3.0, then after that is match the automation tool re-enters another £20, up until the £100 has been matched.

I can see this is do-able with the Automation tool in betangel, but the markets need to start within 24 hours.

Is there any way around this? Any help grately appreciated!

Also would be looking in the future to make it a bit more detailed and add bets such as, once £100 has been matched do the same for Selection B at X price for £50, and so forth.

Thanks for help!

When setting the rule trigger times you have the option to specify 'Fixed date & time'
if you use this and
arm trigger at 00:00:01
untill 23:59:59

Then with the exception of the 2 secs around midnight it should just keep re-arming itself each day.

Thanks for your help.

The software says fixed date and time, yet only has an option to enter a time?

Also if i set the rule now I would have to wait until midnight for the rule to being putting into work?

Answer is already above, you dont need to specify an actual date nor wait till midnight, using those settings means your rule is armed and able to trigger when all its conditions are met everyday as long as its between 1 sec after midnight and 1 sec before midnight.

meaning there is just a 2 sec window it can't trigger in each 24hr period
