Hi,

I've got a number of strategies operating successfully, but I'm struggling with one aspect of one of them

Any given race can have up to 15 bets to be placed from a number of tipsters, all fine and the bets trigger correctly. I would then like to automatically trade out when the green-up figure for the entire race is the same as the stakes placed. Effectively a Double or Bust trade. I can make this trigger correctly for an individual horse but NOT for the market as a whole. I have told the Hedge conditions to use all bets placed by the strategy for profit calculation but it isn't working, and still firing the second bets per horse as soon as the first is placed.

Am I missing something silly? (probably)

Hedge uses profit/loss on that selection and calculates it by using all placed bets, but it does not check if other selections will too have same profit/loss. If you have 15 bets then there should be 15 hedge bets, one for each initial bet and each one will calculate its own hedge size. Most likely this will not work like you expect it to.

Make sure you test it in simulation mode until you fully understand how it works and have right settings.

Is there another way to use the entire market to calculate this? Its the same as the way betfair offers you a cashout figure on the market, I want a bot to trigger when a cashout of for example 200% of market stakes is offered. i.e. total markety stakes of £100, bot triggers at cashout of £200
