Strange auto-greenup
« on: 07 Jul 2022, 13:39 »
Hello,

Sometimes I get strange auto-greenup functionality when stoploss reached.
I have a very simple trigger, that places a prerace lay bet on one horse.
autogreenup is turned on the market with stoploss specified at 50%.
When stoploss reached, sometimes the software place many additional non-correct back and lay bets after the first succesfull greenup action. With these additional bets, the overall loss is much bigger than expected.

Settings:
"Based on profit %": checked
"Against last matched bet": tried both checked and non checked options
"Min profit %": 96
"P/L ratio %": 50
"Stop loss at max %": 50
"Trailing stop-loss": not checked
"Bet in-play": checked
"Always attempt to green up": checked

Please see the screenshots too.

Example trade with the error:
Placed prerace lay bet on Cappoquin at 3.75 with 2 EUR stake.
Stoploss activated and software placed back bet at 2.72 with 3 EUR stake. This resulted in not equal profit:
back profit: 5.16 EUR
lay liability: 5.50 EUR
------------------
if horse lose: 2 - 3 = -1 EUR
if horse won: 5.16 - 5.5 = -0.34 EUR
This is not equal profit, so the software probably want it ot equalise with addtitional bets.
(The correct back bet would be 2.76 EUR at 2.72 (-0.75 EUR loss overall).)
Additional bets placed by autogreenup:
lay @4.1 with 0.4 EUR
back @5.8 with 0.5 EUR
back @27 with 0.36 EUR

With the additional bets, the overall loss is -1.46 EUR on other selections and +9.98 EUR on Cappoquin 

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks.

Hello,

Could you please check the price of bet placed (you can find it in the program log), not matched.
In real mode especially in-play different matched price changes the proportion.
Unfortunately software can base its calculations on the price it's got but it could change rapidly after bet sending...
