Hi, Anyone else have issues with the greening button not working??

I realise there is some market dependency on getting matched but I press many times (sometimes 4 or 5 times). This happens pretty much every race I trade. Made the mistake today of switching market before checking but it's very frustrating to think you've hedged - pressed the button many times a minute or so before the off and then to find out it didn't work and you end up with a large loss.

Is this perhaps to do with running BetAngel in a virtual environment rather than natively in Windows?

What to others do to guarantee getting to a green position? Go back to the exchange and green there?

Not great if hedging can't be relied upon.

How are you triggering the green command? What settings do you have under the 'green up' tab in settings?
