Hi all, I have a question regarding the global settings.
I have set up a trade with a trailing stop and greening(as per video but with greening and in practice mode)and all seemed to work well except for the greening, it did'nt close out the trade when the stop was triggered, and went on to move against my position until I hit the green up button,(the market was fully liquid)any idea what I may have done wrong?
Also(unrelated)a real novice question, I presume my computer must be on when I have trades in "Gardian" or are those trades held on a remote server?
Sorry one more question while I'm here where can I find These books on Excel programing? I see a heading but no "click through".
Many thanks Bob.

A stop can fire but if the market is fast moving it may just not get filled. If you are using automation then it makes sense to trigger it more than once.

Many thanks for your swift reply Euler, yes I understand that I am able to use bet persistance to place the stop order again but just as an example if I were to set the stop trigger at 2 ticks and the stop at, lets say 30 ticks(covering myself in a fast moving market)would BetAngel fill that order at the best possable price say 10 ticks or whatever the best price may be?
Also if you could recomend a book on excel for auto trading please as the page on knowledge base dos'nt load.
Cheers Bob (I am reading the user manual honest just a lot to take in)
