Stop Loss help needed

[tom24]

Hi, I have just started to use the software and using selections (5-16 horses) picked in the morning, I want to lay them at various prices from 3.0 to 8.0.

I see that using the stop loss would be best in case a particular horse comes in by say more than 25% in the market, so if I backed at 8.0 and it came in to 6.0 I would set the stop loss to trigger at 6.0.

I have just experimented with a few of my selections, and did three seperate lays in three different races. I need to know how I can set the stop loss for each lay as when I do one race, the other races stop loss seems to disappear, I need them to be set as seperate entities.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks, Tom.

It cannot monitor the stop loss for a market that is not displayed. As soon as you change markets it will stop monitoring. It will also no longer work if you go back to the market. The answer is to not leave the market. You should open each market in a separate tab page. See "Multiple markets" in the user guide which you can view from the help menu.

Just the help I needed, thanks Gary

Hi Gary, the software is working excellent for me, but there s one more question. When I place a stop loss lay bet, a back bet comes up unmatched in the bets column, this back bet has been double the initial lay price which I am confused about. (Ie lay price 8.0, stop loss back bet at 6.0, back bet appears unmatched at 15.0
What I want to do is have the stop loss stay in play at the off so if the horse shortens during the race the stop loss figure gets matched.
Can you help please, thanks, Tom

If the bet is placed as soon as the lay bet is matched then you must have used the tick offset feature as well. Have you put something in the tick offset settings? Tick offset is different to stop loss so if you only want to use stop loss you shouldn't be entering anything in the tick offset settings, the tick offset value should be set to zero.

Yes have used the tick offset as I read one cancels out the other. I will take that off and zstick to the stop loss, but what I want is the stop loss bet to continue in play until the price reduces to my stop loss setting of 25% of the lay price, triggering the back bet, thanks, Tom.
