Hi,
Wanting to set up so that 1st favorite is LAYED when drifts by either 200% of starting back or starting lay price. Not sure what I don't have right in settings? Any help appreciated. Strategy attached

You have set bet type on 1st favorite by position, but that selection will never be 1st favorite if its price goes up by 200%.

If you wish to bet on first favorite from before in play then at strategy "Edit" form tick option to use favorite positions from before in play (the one where you set strategy name).

Also your price range is set to 1.01 - 7.0, with price change of 200% it is most likely that price of your selection will be above 7.0.

You have set to place exchange bets at Start price during in play, so your bets will be unmatched as you will place bet at price e.g. 2.5 when Lay price is 5.5 or more. Maybe you should set "Price settings->Price rules" to use currently available price when placing in play bets.

Also change your Overrounds to 175/25% as during in play offer is not good as before in play. Change Back/Lay ratio from 15% to 50%.

Then try again in simulation mode to see if it works like you want it to.

Thankyou for the response.
I've made the ammendments in attachements.

I have ticked the option at strategy "Edit" to use favourite position from before in-play. I presume it's probably best to 'determine favourite position by using' as 'back price' in this section?

In Selection Required Price Range Settings - I take it is ok to select 'back price'? and do I tick the 'check prices from before in play'?

I have changed 'set price rules' to currently available

At Min/max selection price rule, you should not tick option to check price from before in play. Right now that allows first favorite that had price in range 1.01 - 15.0 before in play.
