60 something Novice - really hope you can help me please - thanks

Hello, I am on day two of my trial and am very impressed (and overwhelmed) by all the options. And I wonder if someone can kindly help me please?

I am looking to set up a stop loss on my lay bets. I am very cautious and would like this to kick in at say 2.50. That way I think I would be matched. This is likely to be earlier in the race and before everything goes crazy. When I have tried to do this manually I am never quick enough and usually make things worse. So if I set this up, it all happens automatically and I can cash out without a loss, or only a very modest one, or maybe a slight % profit.

Could someone advise me how to do this please? I did download the Profit_or_Loss.baf but its not quite what I am looking for or I really what I think I need.

Is there a similar Baf, I could download please - or could you tell me how to edit / enhance.

I'd be very grateful, I've been like a child at Christmas after downloading the practice model, , but I'm pulling out what hair I have left as I struggle.

So after that ramble. What I am looking to do is automatically trigger a stop loss at 2.50, so I come out of the race without any loss, possibly 2-3% profit, but mainly not lose . And it to fire several times if the price drops suddenly for whatever reason

Thank you in anticipation, Steve

Try the file below, I've edited the Profit and loss bot and taken out the profit rule
Then changed the loss rule to do as you've asked

To do this I've added two conditions as follows (which you can see on the conditions tab of the rule to)

Number of matched bets
on selection
is greater than 0

Fixed odd condition
Selections price
is less than 2.50

So it will trigger on a selection (up to 3 times) if its price drops below 2.50 and it has had bets matched on it

Thank you and for getting back so quickly. Very much appreciated, Steve

Hello Again, the bot fired off the bets....unfortunately, none of these were matched.

(I have been trying to get the bot to fire off the saver bets - that's why I cancelled bet 10003) Playing around with a few things.

I fully understand that this can happen. I was wondering though, are there any refinements that might increase the chances of the bets being matched. I can also increase my trigger price.

21/12/2020 16:53:49: £ 10.00 Lay bet placed on Deolali at 8. Fully matched at 7.8. Ref: 10002 ( Offsetting by 10% [A] with greening. )

Thank you - I appreciate the help and your thoughts. Steve .

I set it to trigger at the '3rd best price', but you can change this to 'Custom Ticks below best reverse market price' and set whatever number of ticks you think you might need
