Hi
Please , please can anyone help me an with issue I have .
I,m trying to lay the first horse to touch 2 in play but then off set the bet with greening at 50 ticks but also to have a stop loss with greening at 60 ticks .
I started off just laying at 2 in running and letting it run but as 2 indicates , I get as many winners as losers .
I am trying to master the global settings to incorporate into this strategy but it seems to do everything I dont want it to do.
The settings I have are place lay bet at 2,06 with a third best price when triggered and my global settings are
OFFSET WITH GREENING AND STOP
OFFSET @70
STOP TRIGGER @60 with place at 15 ticks
FILL/KILL @2 seconds
When the initial lay bet is struck it does fire my back bet in at the requested odds but then sometimes disappears and then tries to fire in a bet at around 1.9 and then usually causes me to lose the bet when otherwise would have been a winning one . it also doesnt seem to stop a loss for me at all .
I have no signals set or values set .
If there is any other way of adapting this stragedy perhaps without global settings i would really like to know how .
I have 4 days left of my trial and unless I can master the appropriate settings i think I will give up before having to pay £30 per month .
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

The way you have it configured is fine (except you should be placing your stop at more ticks than its triggering at) I need to see the log but what's probably happening at times is the price is crashing in so fast it's triggering your lay then your stop almost instantly

Also as your using such a large number of tick offsets and stop loss check your main settings area on the stsking tab to ensure you have the stop loss calculated from trigget price rather than the offset price
