Stop loss fill %.

[loper1]

I had assumed that the fill % represented the amount of the original back/lay required for the trade (reverse) bet.

For instance, you back 200 as a stake, but only require to lay 50 quid of it back, you would enter 25% in the fill % box.

Whatever % I enter it seems always to fill 100% (ie in the case above it would lay 200 quid, the same amount as the original back bet when I only want it to lay 50 quid).

Have I misunderstood the purpose of the fill % box?

Yes you have misunderstood. It does not apply to stop loss at all, it only applies to tick offset.

For example fill % = 50. You bet £100 and £50 is matched. It will cancel the remaining £50 and place £50 offset. However if £100 is matched immediately then it will place £100 offset. It actually means "at least fill %"

Sorry, Gary.

I've been at my computer too long today!

The title of the thread is wrong! Ignore the reference to Stop Loss.

It should have read TICK OFFSET FILL %.

What I want to do is either back or lay a horse and then trade back only a % of the original bet matched.

For instance, I put a figure of 50% in the Tick offset box and tick the Ticks =% box, I need only to get 50% of my original stake matched to cover my liability as I'm getting a 50% better price on the matching bet.

How can I automate this strategy, if at all?

There isn't a specific trigger to do what you want. You will need to use the simple BACK and LAY triggers.

eg.
1. Fire BACK trigger.
2. Monitor column W for bet being matched.
3. Fire CLEAR trigger to clear column T which will allow another bet to fire.
4. Fire LAY trigger.

Sorry Gary, I'm a new boy with your excellent software. The W & T columns mean nothing to me.

Hi,

Column W is where Betting Assistant will output the matched stake of your triggered bet.
And column T displays the Bet Reference.

So Gary is saying monitor column W for when the matched stake is not zero and then use the CLEAR trigger to clear the bet ref so that the next bet can be triggered.
