Hi All,
New to trading and am using BetAngel Professional.
I am a little confused about the basics of where to click in the following situation...
Set to reverse ladder
P&L colum set to show greened position

Run a few test back and lays, some of which get matched and some are outstanding....P&L colum shows green on one half and red on the other for the matched bets to far.

My query is, once the P&L column shows the green/red position, on which side of the ladder (back or lay), should I be clicking to try to rectify my position if I cancelled all the other outstanding bets. I am getting lost when trying to keep up with which bet has been matched or not.

Example for reversed ladder: Green profit side showing on back half, red loss showing on lay half, odds holding stable - where now should I click (back or lay) if I wanted to try to get back in profit/zero balance assuming all other bids were cancelled? I don't want to click the green all button just yet as have ten minutes left (I'm trading far from start times as the market moves slowly enough for me to try to understand it!)

I have watched a few videos but I still dont get it as it all happens so quickly.
Thanks everyone

If you're wanting to 'green up' you can click either the P/L figure show above all the ladders - that will green up ALL positions in one go.
Of if just trading one ladder you can click any of the P/L figures in the trade profit column and the software will place a bet and stake to achieve that P/L

The following thread show explain further

If you are wanting to add/reduce your position with further bets and need to know which side your 'Net' stake box (located to the right of your ladder preset stakes) will show if you need to place a back or lay bet to balance the book

So in the following image its showing I need to place £107 of lay bets to close the position

So I can select a part stake of that and place it anywhere on the lay side (pink) to reduce my liability or click the 'net' stake box itself as I've done in the image and clicking anywhere in the lay side will place the bet of £107 once matched my trade is closed and I just need to 'green up' to spread any P/L across all selections
