Is it possible to have two separate bets on Betfair using BA where one action doesn't effect the other?
As an example:
I see a Greyhound that I decide I want to lay at a certain price. I get the lay matched and move on with my day. Later on, I see a trading opportunity on the same race as I've placed my lay bet. For arguments sake I think a price on one of the dogs will drift. I place my orders, they're matched and I've got a profit on my drifter. I now want to hedge my profit across the field (for the drifting trade only), but I don't want to interfere with my original lay that I did before this trade.
I take it the Hedge button will hedge all trades / bets open for that market. Is there a way around this or is it a case of just calculating what price to put in to hedge (not via the hedge button) what you can leaving the original lay at roughly what it was in the first place?
Different Cash Outs
On the ladder, you can green up individual selections using the trade profit column on the left of each column.
Or you can do this on the one-click screen by assigning a short cut key to the action of close trade on selection with greening, then to green, an individual selection just hover your cursor over the selection you want to green up and press your shortcut key

Sorry - looking at this again, I don't think I've quite explained it correctly. I don't want to green up on individual selections, I want to hedge out my profit / loss across all selections but that trade only, not the original lay bet I placed.
So, I've laid horse A for £10 @ evens at 9:30 this morning, because I think it's been over bet. Later on in the day, I notice horse B is drifting in the same race and think this drift will continue. I place a trade and now have a £5 profit on horse B. I don't want to use the hedge button because this will also hedge out the original lay bet from 9:30 in the morning. I want to hedge my £5 profit across all the runners. Is there a way to do this?

Ok. Thanks. I didn't think it did that - I just thought it was either the trade on the horse you were using the "Trade profit" column on or hedging by using the green up button (across all selections for all bets open). Thanks again for clearing that up.
