Betfair SP liability specify odds

[manager1]

Is it possible to place an automated lay at SP specifying odds limit from the excel sheet?

So using the live shows in a cell, auto submit a lay at SP bet for $100 liability with an odds limit of $3.00 which is the live show price?
I'm sure it can be done but I'm finding the way it works, I can't just ask to lay at an SP price, if the live price goes it gets triggered, I only want SP matched and not live prices.

The reason is, I don't want prices matched if the SP price is going to be lower than what I specified. So if I specify $10.00 odds, if the live price goes to $9.00 it gets matched, but if the SP is $8.00 I am missing out.

Is this possible?

missing out on a lower price that is.

"I don't want prices matched if the SP price is going to be lower than what I specified" - this doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't you want to lay a shorter price than your maximum ?

Yes, a bit weird.

I meant I don't want to take any price other than SP.
If I specify a price of evens, but the SP is $1.80, I want that matched, not the pre off price of say $1.90

If you put an SP bet into the SP market, it is only matched at SP not before.

You must be putting bets into the live market with a "take SP at off, if not matched" marker on.

I'm referring to spreadsheet triggers.

You can place SP bets with BACKSP and LAYSP triggers.
The stake column sets the liability and the odds column sets the minimum/maximum odds that you want to accept.
