I have seen some videos on having a stop loss manually entered, with a right click.

Is there a way where this can be done without having to seek price and right click?

Thanks in advance

There be no way of the software knowing where you want the stop loss without some instruction from you
If not by right clicking and manually setting it on the ladder at the price, you'd need to use 'Global Settings' and enter the number of ticks/percent you are prepared to let the price move against your opening bet
Or if using a Servant you can have it placed at a price, number of ticks/percent relative to price and much more

I have followed the stop loss video. It doesn't seem to implement the auto close the same way.

It places the order at the price I click on, which is fine. It shows auto close, unchecks it and removes it, immediately and sometimes it just places the back/lay.

I want it done automatically, if you want it done manually, right click at the price that you want your stop.

That is a 'Stop on opening bet' you have selected - not a stop loss
The two are completely different things

The right-click stop loss is only for the ladder trading screen

Hi Dallas,

Does this mean using all the information provided that I can only have a stop loss manually or a stop loss if I place an offset bet?

Thanks

There's several ways of placing them in addition to the above you can use a Servant to place your bet and stop loss without the need for an offset

Or give it other instructions like once a stop bet is triggered if its not matched within 'X' seconds it will keep retriggered again at the current best price until it is
