If you wrote exactly how you posted in your message then it's because the = sign in excel means you're either entering a function or some kind of calculation.

You need to either not put the = sign (and just type that directly into the cell without the =)

or if you do want/need to keep it there then do it like this ="LAY OFFSET : 10 FILL_KILL : TRUE KILL_DELAY : 10 STOP : 30 TRAILING_STOP : TRUE WITH_GREENING : TRUE" (using the " double quotes)

I did it as you said, bat now in the status cell O9 when i trigger a bet i get an Error.
Cell O9 reports error!
In the cell L9 i paste exactly this:
="LAY OFFSET : 10 FILL_KILL : TRUE KILL_DELAY : 10 STOP : 30 TRAILING_STOP : TRUE WITH_GREENING : TRUE"
Also my stake is more than 2euro.

OFFSET : 10

OFFSET:10
