Automation rules
You can't watch every market — automation rules can. Set a price trigger on any selection and choose what happens when it fires: place a bet you've configured, or just tell you. Rules keep working while the app is running, even with the market's window closed.
Who can use it
Full access — Bet and Watch actions, multi-rule sequences, persistence across sessions, and background evaluation.
Automation rules are part of Pro. On Basic, price alerts and entries are hands-on — many traders find that's exactly how they want to learn before automating anything.
Anatomy of a rule
- Trigger: "this selection's Back or Lay price rises above or falls below X".
- Action: Bet — place a configured bet (side, price, stake) through the same pipeline as your manual bets — or Watch — raise an in-app notification and place nothing.
- Sequence: rules chain in order. Rule 2 only arms after rule 1 fires — so "alert me at 3.0, then back at 3.2" behaves like a plan, not two independent tripwires.
Creating a sequence
- Open the market and expand the Automation section (or use the main window's automation panel).
- Pick the selection and add your first rule: choose the price side, the direction (rises above / falls below) and the threshold.
- Choose the action. Starting with Watch is a good habit — see the trigger fire before you trust it with a stake.
- Add further rules to build the sequence, then save. The sequence shows as active on the selection.
- Close the window if you like — rules keep evaluating in the background while BetTrading.net is running, and survive a restart.
Staying in control
- Active rules are listed in both the market window and the main window — nothing runs invisibly.
- Cancel a rule or a whole sequence at any time; cancellation takes effect immediately.
- Rules only evaluate while the application is running — close BetTrading.net and nothing fires until you're back.
A Bet action stakes real money the moment its trigger fires — including while you're making tea. Start with Watch actions and small stakes, and review what fired after every session. Never automate a strategy you wouldn't place by hand.
Use Watch rules as a scanner across several markets, then trade the ones that trigger by hand. Pair an entry rule with a follow-up rule at your exit price to sketch a full trade. And set thresholds a tick or two inside the level you care about — triggers fire on crossing, and thin books can gap.
