Hi experts
Had a weird one overnight where I imported all the UK races into Guardian and set a basic automation rule at very small stakes to test an idea.
Got up this morning and nothing had happened. The volume of all the races seems unchanged from when I set it up and no activity took place.
Grateful for some pointers as to what I can check to ensure I haven't incorrectly set it up - I assume that's far more likely than the Guardian failed!
Thanks
Guardian Stopped Updating
First thing would be to make sure your connection remained active, ie your computer didn't go into hibernation, sleep mode etc (or of course your internet didn't stop for several hours).
If all that's ok the next thing to check if you didn't restrict the refresh within guardian (on the advanced tab at the top).
You could always add some markets to guardian now and keep an eye on the 'last update' column and that will show you if everything is at least updating at the moment OK

Restriction settings are fine, I do have them on but it is a 30 minute bracket so I can't see why that would have stopped it.
It's possible the computer went into hibernation I guess. I hadn't touched it for a few hours. I'll have to check the settings and see.
Thanks Dallas.

Something similar happened to me this afternoon, using Bet Angel Server Edition 1.49 on Basic VPS, with streaming enabled (500ms on ladder, 20ms on Guardian).
I was manually trading UK horses, while Guardian had automation configured on tennis matches, with Restrict Refresh set as usual (from 900secs before the event start, to 99999secs after the event start).
The ladder kept working fine, but when I checked Guardian at around 16:30 (UK time), it showed that it had stopped updating markets at 15:28.
I then unticked and re-ticked Restrict Refresh to no avail.
Restarted Bet Angel, setup Guardian automation again on the same markets, with Restrict Refresh, and everything worked.
This Guardian "stoppage" happened twice in the last month or so. In my case it's definitely not a case of hibernation, because I was using Bet Angel ladder at the same time.
Could it perhaps be a problem of lost connection to the Betfair streaming server?
