lay bet with offset IP

[jamesgeegees28]

Hi
im trying to place a lay bet with a tick offset to trade out in run but seem to be having a few problems. can anyone talk me through the setup?
ive had the offset bets getting matched first or no offset getting matched even though price has hit the level. TIA.

Probably need to give a bit more info as can't see how you'd manage to get the offset portion matched first??

Are you betting manually or via excel?

Manually if you want the offset part to be kept in play you'd have to have the "Keep Offset IP" ticked in the betting options, that way the offset would still be live when the market goes in play.

For excel it's simply LAY-T20-IP or however many ticks you want placed.

Hard to know why your bets aren't matched bespite the price being hit but could be a lot of reasons like the price being hit before your bet hit the market or just being at the back of the queue. Think you'd need to give a clearer explanation of what's going wrong tbh.
