I used BetAngel a long time ago and have returned to it with a new strategy.

I want to set up Guardian to place a back bet on a particular horse, 2 minutes before the off. I want to set up a lay bet to green up, say 20 ticks in running. Now this I have done with the help of the videos, but I want to set up a safety bet to get out if the market goes the other way.

If I want to set up a get out lay bet, say 20 ticks the other way. It is with this part I need help

ie with the Stop trigger (ticks) place at (ticks) and the fill and kill.

Suggestions please.

If you use a stop loss with your opening back bet pre-offthe "stop part" can't be kept in-play.
So you need to either wait and place your opening back bet in play or make a rule to close your trade in-play if £X loss is reached/exceeded.

I should add that due to the voliatility in-play and the bet delays neither are guaranteed to work, especially if triggered in the closing moments of a race or a horse falls.

Thanks for the reply.

The back bet has to be placed a few minutes before the off.

So is there a video to show how to make a new rule if a certain loss is reached?

Thanks for the help

There is videos about automating greening up on BA TV all you need to do is follow one of these and enter less than -£X
as the amount you want
