Probably an easy question.

If the market is 2.02/2.04 ,, and I want to place a bet, on the ladder interface, at 2.02, and once its all or partially filled, is it possible to use a setting, to automatically create a lay, for the exact amount matched, at a defined number of ticks, below 2.02.

If so, where/what is the setting.

On other software, its called Tick offset .. but, its not that, here.

I have tried (maybe it doesnt work on the ladder) ?

Thx

Ok, Thx.

I am still a little confused, if i have the right settings/am using it properly.

I want to send large orders, which, once any part is matched, a reverse trade is sent.

I am assuming this is not possible.

To help, I thought the batches field, would cut-up an order, but, when I send a 200 lay, even thou the batches field says 5 .. it still sends 200 (not 40).

What am I doing wrong ?

Thx

The batches relates to your offset order only, so 5 batches and £200 stakes (this equals batches of £40 200/5) means
If £50 was matched the £40 would be offset
If a further £30 was matched the next £40 would be offsett
If the remaining £120 was then matched in 1 go all would be offset togther.

To do it pound for pound the number of batches could be set to the same size as the stake being used.

Ok, then why isnt this working ?

05/11/2016 10:20:04: £ 200.00 Lay bet placed on The Draw at 9.4. £ 9.35 matched at 9.4 £ 190.65 unmatched when it initially reached the market. Ref: 78779309197

I have changed batch size to 75, and stake to £200.

9.35 matched, but, no offset bets have been placed.

This is the beta.

Trying to get right, friging photos.

Have you done this from the above link?

**Also remember when using any of the options from the global settings area ensure you have enabled them by UNCROSSING the blue cog icon on that trading screen**

Maybe thats it .. but, how can the blue cog be unticked on a one-click screen, and have diff settings on the ladder screen ?

Yes, thats it .. but, u have to make sure, the right fill/kill setting is also ticked.

Deep sigh, I really feel this is more complex than it shud be .. but, thx, I know understand how its supposed to work.

(( and its REALLY dangerous ))

I just sent a lay of £200, £8 was matched, and it sent the reverse trade for £200+ .. its just wrong, no trader would want this.

I give up.

The global settings are enabled/disabled for each of the trading screen independently.

Also you ll need to increase your fill/kill to a higher number of secs, at the moment its cancelling anything unmatched after just half a second so not really giving any offsets/batches a chance.
