Hi,

Was working on the ladders today for 2nd time. Got myself onto horse that was coming in very certainly and consistently. Using Reversed. So I was putting a Back at around 7 or so for an Open and Closing with a Lay several ticks down. Everything was hunky-dory. Repeated this process several times Open(Back) - Close (Lay) at lower price. My Green, unhedged was building up nicely.
Then, to my horror, I notice Red figures advancing up the P/L column.
Lost the cool and hit the Hedge All figure and that was that.
Anyone got any idea of why this horror occured. Had I Opened a bet earlier without closing out?

Cheers

Hi,
Thanks for the pointer,
I have looked at the logs myself and found the anomaly,
Race was 1255 Doncaster.
3 Backs on Golden Image and 4 Lays
Moral of story..be more careful.. and learn to walk before jogging.
Thanks for your patience and time,

Cheers
