@john-folan Thank You, I had tried that but it didn't seem quite what I wanted. I need to make sure that the price at 2 mins was 4 ticks less than its 4 minute mark, when I first set this up, it could of drifted 4 mins to 2 1/2 mins and then come in 4 ticks and it would of been classed as a steamer, which is not what I wanted.

I do however think I have solved it, I have set the strategy price recording time to start at 4 mins and finish at 3 mins and 58 seconds, it should therefore record my starting point correctly. It will then only class any selection as a steamer at 2 mins if the price at 2 mins is 4 ticks less than the record price. Does that sound the right logic to you?

@john-folan Thank you, I can't seem to find the right settings. Have it set up ok in Bet Angel but looking at moving to BFBM as I love the bank options.

There’s a lot more filtering in Bfbot as well. I prefer it despite the fact it’s a little slower.
Found it in the manual. You can do % or ticks. This is the rule you want under selection conditions

Only me again. Is it possible to set the price checking as follows:

Check Price at 3 mins before off is X ticks less or more than it was at 4 mins
Check Price at 2 mins before off is X ticks less or more than it was at 3 mins

I only seem to see the option to check the maximum and minimum tick movement from when you start recording prices, and in some cases within that 2 minutes it can both drift and steam by 4 ticks?

Pretty sure there is. I did something with percentage drops a while back. Positive it does ticks as well. I’ll look later/tomorrow morning.

Pretty sure it’s the streamers drifters rule in selection conditions

Would this look right as a csv file to import into Bfbotmanager?

That should work randomly

@john-folan Nothing set in the country filter, strangely, it just started working after 09:30, perhaps there is a time restriction somewhere?

That will be in the time to bet rules under market conditions

@john-folan Thank you, all sorted. I am running a scalping test bot on greyhounds, I have set it to Events - Greyhound Racing, it worked great yesterday on GB races, but it is not firing on the Australian markets, is there a reason for this do you know?

Can someone please guide me on the relevant settings for this on BFBM please:

I currently use Bet Angel and have a strategy which places a back bet and at the same time (using Bet Angel terminology) places and offset bet with greening at 4 ticks. What is the equivalent setting on BFBM for the offset bit?

After bet rules tab should have what you are looking for

@jon-batten Giving it my best shot just got to keep going.

[A Former User]

@nick-terracciano same here. The amount of times I've looked at momentum charts on sofa score and I think it's a dead cert for a goal coming and ends up a dud. Sounds like your in a great head space to succeed though. Nice one

[Nick Terracciano]

@jon-batten I really enjoy getting involved in trades, just seem to fk it up when I do.
Until I get good at in play trading im going to try and stick to automation.

[A Former User]

@nick-terracciano hell yeah I'm in the same boat. The less I get involved the better. I just like to set them up in the morning and just check in the evening. I much prefer just daily grinding the the selections then getting involved in them them assessing them at a later date

[Nick Terracciano]

@jon-batten Cheers just testing it out, automation really helps cuts out allot of disipline issues for me,

[A Former User]

@nick-terracciano Daniel is right. I have a second half goal bot setup. I just use. Place bet at half time and bet +0.5 over current score as Daniel has. I get it to put in the odds I want which you can set up in the price settings rules.

@robert-h Cheers - will keep an eye out for that! it's been working for me on the over/under markets so far but it might be because mine only places a bet at HT

Yeah I had a problem of it still placing a trade when a goal had been scored and hasn't since I did separate one for Home and Away. The wording is a bit vague
