Hi.
I'm not sure if this post is in the proper section, move it if it's wrong.
So, I program my own Excel bots and now I've encountered one thing that I cannot resolve. That is partially completet bets.
I put my bets (ie BACK bet) in the proper excel cell, and sometimes they are partially completed and it is shown in cell. Now, I need to put the Hedged bet (ie LAY bet) to complete the trade. If I put the hedged bet when the first bet is completed than I might not complete the trade with the hedged bet. What I need is to put my hedged bet immediatly when one or more parts of the bet is completed, and not wait until it's completed.
I hope that I was clear, so somebody might help,
thanks,
Dean |

| Use the fill or kill trigger eg BACK-F5 and after eg 6 secs check for the amount and odds matched at columns V,W for use in your hedge bet |

It seems that I wasn't much clear, so I'll do one example now:
Suppose that I BACK $100 at price 2.00 for the first horse.
I do it in excel like this:
CELL R5 = 2.00
CELL S5 = 100
CELL Q5 = BACK
after some time, part of my bet is matched and excell cells say:
CELL V5 = 2.00
CELL W5 = 40
so $40 of my $100 bet is matched at the 2.00 price.
I don't want to wait that complete bet is matched to proceed with the LAY bet at 1.99. Instead of that I want to HEDGE LAY immediately according to the matched volume of my back bet.
So, at the moment when my back bet is partially matched, I want to put my HEDGED LAY bet, so as in the example above, I would do the following:
CELL R5 = 1.99
CELL S5 = 100.50
CELL Q5 = LAY
But, if I do that, I cannot control my first, BACK bet if it is completely matched or not.
How can I control my all bets, matched or partially matched? |

sorry I made a mistake in the HEDGED LAY bet, so it should be:
CELL R5 = 1.99
CELL S5 = 40.20
CELL Q5 = LAY |

| What triggers are you using ? BA already has settings whereby any partial match will be offset rather than waiting for a full match. Look at the fill % settings in the tick offset box as that controls when offsets will be triggered by % matched |

| I don't trade manually. The bot I made trades for me. |

| Are you using an offset trigger modifier (either T or P)? If so, are you saying that using Excel a partially met back bet is not automatically layed? |
