Stop Loss

[Hampson]

I'm not new to trading but I am fairly new to Bet Angel. Could someone please help me here. I know how to place a stop loss to green up, but I want to place a stop loss at a different price to my Lay Bet. For example. My lay bet is say £10 @ 4.5 and I want to place a stop loss at £7.50 at say 4.0. This gives me a small profit of £2.50 as long as it doesn't win. And if it drifts out and never comes in, then I get a profit of £10. If the horse wins then my liability is greatly reduced to about an even money bet.

To be clear this is the bet I want to put on.

LAY BET £10 @ 4.5
STOP LOSS £7.50 @ 4.0

You have no guarantee of getting your back bet matched at that price... I'm assuming you're wanting this for either a pre race entry to take in running, or a in running trade?

You could used a fixed odds condition on your back bet but with an inplay delay it may have already gone way past that price and then you're fully exposed.

Thank you I'll look into it.

Hi - new to BA - jumping onto this thread if i may -

any idea of best setting/way to automate a green up at stop loss point (for 100% of stake)?

have tried in BA but it seems to be stopping my bets from triggering...

STAKE: £2

Have put one of the conditions as 'close trade profit condition' (attached) - is this correct or shd i be trying to green up the stop loss another way (perhaps stop loss settings pic attached)?

not sure if i shd be using one/both or neither ?

Thanks
