Distribute Loss
« on: 17 Feb 2016, 16:12 »
Hi,


What happens if you set Distribute Loss Ticks = 0 ?


Does it not place a trade or does it place one at the best available price ?


Reason being I am trying to automate a scratch trade to break-even where possible.


Thanks,


Mark

Hi
Yes it will DL at best available but there is always a minimum of 1 tick difference, so unless your conditions stop the DL, it will always be at least 1 tick loss.
A true break even scratch is same price and same amount as entry bet.

For Lay entry scratch is:
back, price: bm_layp, amount: bm_laya, plus conditions to suit your scratch
For Back entry scratch is:
lay, price: bm_backp, amount: bm_backa, plus conditions to suit your scratch
