Tick offset as %

[Ben Dover]

Just taken up a subscription to set up an auomated routine. I'd like to bet then trade out at a percentage of the price I bet at. It seems that the TickOffset can be only set to ticks and not percentages. Is that correct ? If so it is a grave shortcoming and as I cant belive this to be the case can someone point to where a setting may be ?
Thanks

Can you define exactly what you are looking for?

I.e. I back at 2.00 and offset by what to what value?

Back at 3.00 and lay at 1.50 (50%), or back at 4.80 and lay at 2.4 (50%), or back at 5.6 and lay at 1.68 (70%)

Not sure on the logic on this. If you backed at 5.60 with a 90% offset you would end up laying at odds that are not available?

The market has 351 ticks but half way on that is 4.50 but halfway in implied chance is 50% or 2.00.

Forget about the logic, which is very sound the way I implement it, so don't worry about that. What I was asking was if the TickOffset as a percentage could be implemented ? I can only assume that it isn't which is a shame and very surprising.

Other software does have this functionality btw (though not in an Automation routine) and I could obviously write a simple Excel spreadsheet to do it but I had hoped it might have been available in the Automation routines.

So is there a way to achieve offsetting by percentage instead of ticks?
I back Arsenal with 10€ stake at odds of 2.0
Then I want to offset this by 15% meaning laying this at odds 15% lower than 2.00 which is 1.7
Than backing at 3.2 and laying at 2.72 on another market.
When using offsetting by ticks first case is 30 ticks and second 18 so obviously offsetting by ticks is not universal for all markets!
