I want to record the price of a horse 2 minutes before the start and then back only the horses (at BSP) whose prices are lower than the recorded price. Is this possible?

You can use "Price change - steamers/drifters" rule and set it to allow betting only on selections whose price goes down by X ticks/percents.

Thanks, would this be the only way to determine it? Or are there any other ways?
What if the odds go down and then up? I want it to bet only if the odds are lower.

Yes, it is the only way. Currently available price is compared with recorded price by this rule.

So if I were to record the price for 1 second, would this work? Would it look at the current price and compare to the recorded price?

You cannot record prices for 1 seconds, it needs to be an interval, hopefully longer one, to ensure that bot gets market prices during that period of time so that it could record them. This is explained in the manual and at monitoring markets section.

Ok thanks I will go back through the manual.

Would you know if there is a way to do this?

If I have an imported tip from csv with a certain price and I want to only lay that selection if the price was higher, is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help

Imported tip supports MinPrice and MaxPrice columns, so set MinPrice to your minimum price that you are willing to bet at. Please use simulation mode to test it.

Thanks but that won’t do what I’m trying to do.

Is there no way of betting on a selection from a tip if the currently available price is higher than the price of the tip?

I’m trying to set my strategy to only lay bets whereby the price is higher than the price set from the tip/csv. By doing this I am able to filter out all the selections who are steaming so that I’m only laying drifted prices.

And the steamers/drifters setting doesn’t work for this as the prices fluctuate up and down throughout the day.

Sorry, it appears that it is not possible to do what you want.
