Hi All
Have been running a simple in running scalping bot today and on one race
the green all feature turned a (£0.70) profit into a (£5.54) loss. The green all
will only trigger with no unmatched bets. Have looked through the log and it
does not make any sense. Can someone double check for me?

Just a guess but how frequently are you allowing your greenall rule to fire? You might need to give it a little bit longer to be processed by BF if you're triggering it at 1s intervals. There's a chance BF might not be showing your previous trade as unmatched before you check your #unmatched again.

Hi Shaun
Thanks for looking
The Green all triggers near the end of the race 3 times at 3 sec intervals
and my BF account shows the same number of matched bets as the BA log
with no unmatched bets
Thanks

Sorry it didn't help, I don't do much automation but had seen a similar problem caused by that. I'm sure someone else will have an idea.

Can you check your matched bets to see if the following was matched
113730825661

Is your final greening up on a timer and normal for it to trigger nearly one and a half minutes after the last bet was?

Hi Dallas
Thanks for looking
Bet ref 113730825661 was matched OK and the timing of the green all command is normal
Have attached a screenshot (PNG) of matched bets from BA

Thanks
Again

Its def that bet 113730825661 (3rd from top on lay) and you have just been very unlucky that its been matched at the moment the next green up (ref ending 449) triggered
So when that reached the market it undone the 661 green up so then had to trigger a 3rd by which time the price had gone badly against you

It's one of those flukes that can happen in the milli seconds of latency but next time it could just as easily increase your green up amount

If you're scalping in-play I would expect it to happen quite often. Too Many Chiefs appears to have moved from 4.4 (lay) to 1.7 (back) in 3 seconds. It's not unusual in-play when the shape of the race changes drastically and it's quite possible in-play that there could have been a 1.7 - 4.4 spread.

Thanks very much Dallas and Derek27
You are both indeed correct!
Just been through all of the logs for the last two weeks and every race had a profit
at the time of the green all command. On average I am getting one bad (loss) and two
better (increased profit) green ups a day. The loss wipes out the increased profit and some!
Despite this, the scalping strategy is still making good money every day
Just need to find a way around this
Thanks so much for your time and effort
Kev
