To use a stop manually just right click your mouse at the odds you wish to stop at - it will the turn this box yellow and if the prices reaches it will stop you out, for example

You back at 4.5 hoping the price will shorten but in case it goes against you you can right click any odds above say 4.8 - should the price now go up to 4.8 you will be stopped out at those odds, if you wish to move if just right click again on another price.

Hi
So this is an option on the one click feature ?
I also tried the steamer bot and found that it was sort of win loss win loss , no real profits.
The front runner bot was even more dangerous with bets not getting filled.
I love horse racing am in ownership in Australia.I ventured to bet angel trading to try and find some low risk trading as opposed to punting.
Thank You

Sorry no one the one click screen the right click does not work, you can still use a stop loss enabled with the global setting (those across the very top of your screen).
Very simple to set up.

First make sure the blue cog icon (just above the grid prices) does not have a cross through it.
Then in the top left corner on the drop down box where it currently has "None" select "Offset bet and stop" just to the right of that in the "Stop trigger" box enter the number of ticks you want to allow the price to go against you then in the "Place trigger box" the number of ticks you want the stop to be placed at - pre-race you would usually use the same number or 1 number higher in the place box.
Then place your bet as normal and should the price go against you it will stop you out automatically as it reaches the number of ticks you have specified.

The videos are educational guide videos showing what is possible within BA and how to get started its not just a case of applying them exactly as seen to every race expecting a profit but applied on the correct races with the right conditions that's just two of 1000s of ways and approaches to profit through trading and will also give you much better consistent returns than punting in the long term.

If you have any further questions am happy to continue to answer if i can and you will also get input form other forum members but you should start a new thread relating to that question as this thread is for discussion of the Australian racing in general.

Has anyone noticed anything funny with the API today, ie. unable to cancel existing bets or place a bet on the ladder ( for about 30 - 60 seconds)............especially just before the off, Sandown race 5

Assuming you are referring to "margin maker".

Are you doing this pre off? Backing all on a tight book and "keeping" one to match in play?

Or are you doing this in play on Australian races when the back book might already be close to or over 110% and therefore no matter what you do you can't pull your ditched selection back to an underround?

And the back book % ?? (ie there is enough room to get you from the back book % down to 90%?) And the runner is always under 5ish?

I just tested in Flemington race 1. Works fine for me.
