over/under 2.5 trigger

  i have an idea about over/under 2.5 goal market(soccer)  for example:
                       back   lay
    under 2.5@  1.98    1.99
    over  2.5@   2.00    2.02
i want to lay at over 2.5 first,  if matched i lay at under2.5@ 1.99 at once.
     can you make a trigger file solve problem:
    1. it can judge the price at "under 2.5" can make profit.
    2. it can run several times on idle market ignoring P/L before.
    3.  it can be handled at in_play market  if it does not be matched at idle market.

thank you.

hi
not to sure exactly what you want to do, because if you lay at 2.02 and 1.99, one will be in profit and one a loss.
here is a trigger for you to try.
in the constants you can set
bet amount
maximum price for the over selection
maximum price for the under selection
amount of ticks less to place the first bet on the over selection.

the trigger will place a lay bet on the over selection then on the under selection,if the over price is equal or less than your set price and the under is equal or less than your set price.
it will then repeat the bet placements.
please ask if you need more adding to the trigger.

please use test mode until you are happy with your settings

hi
WELL, i am shocked that a bet was placed, BUT remember it is test mode, so i live mode the prices might have changed by the time betfair match the bets.

mcbee, thank you for your help.
   i am going to lay at over 2.5@2 ,not at 2.02, and waiting, if matched then lay at under 2.5 @1.99 at once.  it will make some little profit. then do it again.
   the over2.5 price could be between 1.5-2.5.
   also, it will run before turn in play and stop before the match start.

hi
if you only want to bet before in-play, then change the lay triggers to.
Market Status    Idle or Suspened
