Hi,
I have created a rule that is supposed take advantage of when the price comes in by using a trailing stop. I have set up the attached rule to back either player in a tennis match when the WOM is 40% and have a trailing stop to place and triger at 5 ticks. Theoretically if the price moves the wrong way I should incure a small loss (around 0.2 on a $5. But if it moves the right way I could potentially have larger gains. However that has not happened.
In the market logged below I had two marched bets (the initial bet and then a greening bet only. However from the log you can see that there would have been ample time for the stops to fire and potentially pull into profit. Why did this not work? Any suggested amendments to the rule would be welcome.
