stop loss help please
« on: 05 Feb 2014, 00:12 »
Just another wobbly... xfeeder changing positions.
Here is the same email hopefully in the right column :)

Hi,
I have not had much success in previous attempts in
using stop loss triggers as they fire far too often in a match
especially the ones that can go on for several hours or
even days as in the case of 5 day test matches.
Having said that I would like to include a stop loss trigger and appreciate it if
someone could guide me.
These are my criteria:
* There will be 2 or 3 players/outcomes involved
* each player could have an unmatched back or lay bet or both waiting to greenup.
* I'll be setting the tick SL at around 60
* I would like the trigger to SL unequally giving 80% of the loss to the non fav.
* Once it has fired the betting should carry on.
I would like it to stop loss say 60 ticks from opening position:
example back at 1.30 SL if odds go the other way and reach 1.90
Thanks if you can oblige

My grandma taught me not to run downstairs and never back odds on.

hi
here is a trigger to test and see if it is what you want.
in the constants you can set
Stop loss percent for the selection     
Stop loss ticks
the triggers will place a stop loss bet on the selections that has a matched amount more than 0 .

please use test mode until you are happy with your settings
